EPA plans to overhaul tests to set more accurate mileage
Quote:
Government fuel-economy tests will be changed to more closely mimic the way people really drive, the head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said during a tour of the EPA auto lab here.
EPA will propose, yet this year, an overhaul of its 1970s-era tests that will include hard acceleration, air conditioning use and cold temperature operation - none part of the current tests. There has been speculation all year about how the tests might change, but his comments here were the first official outline.
