Default Re: Carbon measured as a part of EPA mpg Test

No, I don't want the EPA to change anything for ME personally, but even THEY know they need to change their testing, and they are looking into that.

All I have "against" the EPA cycle is what reality shows us - it is Flawed and needs to be revised toward realities of today's driving styles and habits.

As the test stands right now, today, the Prius is rated "too high" for reality, and thus leads to shattered expectations, and leads people to "badmouth" Hybrids, which I do not like to read or hear. It's not the TECHNOLOGY'S fault, it's the EPA tests which are raising expectations too high.

That's nothing new, and is not only my personal opinion but is also common knowledge in the automotive world. I can post links if you like.....
