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
Jac Nasser, Ford President: "We are planning to launch a hybrid version of
this car [P2000] within this year [1998]. We will also make FCEV available in
2004."
