as does cold weather. The EPA ratings are taken on a closed circuit course designed to mimic a normal commute, but it does not. So if you can get the EPA rating you either are trying really hard or your normal driving commute is super easy on fuel.
I believe your car is still falling a bit short tho, as my Mazdapseed that weights over 3700lbs with me in it gets noticably better mileage than that and has a bigger engine.
