.....According to the Environmental Protection Agency Web site, the fuel-efficiency test is designed to measure wastes emitted from the consuming fuel, not the actual amount of fuel being consumed.


This is such a load of crap...how can a fuel efficiency test which has an indicator of MPG, NOT measure the actual amount of fuel being consumed!!!???
I get so tired of reading such biased BS...I put gas in tank and drive, count number of miles, divide by number of gallons = mpg. I am on tank #3 and it looks like it might be a first 50+mpg. I do not require any validation for my decision to trade-in the Land Rover for the HCH. I tell people I get 50 mpg with my GREENHYBRID.COM bumper sticker and laugh all the way to the tank.
