The media, in general, has also failed to point out what the EPA test is really like. That isn't described on the window sticker of any car. What the window stickers should say is that the vehicles are tested on a dyno, that the test doesn't start until the engine is fully warmed up and that it will be impossible to replicate these conditions in real life. But we have had plenty of those threads before, haven't we?
