Re: Carbon measured as a part of EPA mpg Test
The tests are JUST as flawed for conventional cars. The ONLY use for the EPA numbers is for comparing car to car differences, there's no point in expecting the FE of what the EPA measures for any vehicle.
In the real world you will sometimes drive around and end up with less battery level than you started out with, so once again the tests may reflect what can happen in the real world.
I agree they should change the tests, especially in light of their own measured discrepancies between real world and tests, but that goes right across the board, not just for hybrids.
