I believe it was in the article section of one of the magazines released by Road & Track. I'll take a look for it.

Nobody is saying they need to match European magazines because they most certaintly do not, but from my experience Road & Track's figures have always lined up with European figures, something which i have not seen with Car & Driver. Now of course i am not saying European magazines are the bench mark, but they are
my bench mark.
