Hi Peggy:

___Thanks for the link. I cannot wait for the EPA to come up with real world testing scenario.

___If you haven’t read Consumer Reports in a while, there fuel economy testing does include a real test track with an exacting number of stops for the exact amount of time and acceleration to a particular speed between the lights etc. They also have a highway test track IIRC for a more realistic highway number. After all that, they also use a 150 mile highway test on a real highway with real cars. It is a very interesting and exacting scenario to say the least. How they hold temperature across the range of cars on a given day/week/month is beyond me however?

___Good Luck
