Default Re: Consumer Reports on EPA vs. real-world

Brandon, you get "thoughtful post of the day".

Having just returned home from a 38 mile roundtrip to drop my wife off at school, and getting 75 MPG, which is 25% OVER the city EPA even with some highway driving mixed in, I view the EPA as a *minimum* number; going below it means either the driver and/or the car require maintanence.

R2-E2
, 2G Prius.
Highway/City/Husband/Wife MPG: 56.5, as of 12/2005, 26K miles

this car [P2000] within this year [1998]. We will also make FCEV available in
2004."
