Mike,
I would dissagree with the statement concerning that people would be better of staying with what they have FE (and to a point) Emissions wise. Lets say someone drives a civic...ehh, rated about 28/38. That same person decides the would like the added FE of a HCH, so they get one rated (someone correct me if i'm wrong) 48/47. If they drive like a normal person they will see a 10-15% drop in FE from EPA in both cars. So they will see a gain in FE, it just won't be as apperant because they could not actually see what FE they were getting in the I.C.E. civic, most people naturally assume that they get EPA. It is when they can actually see (instentanious and trip meters) that they are getting bellow EPA that they freak out.
Cheers,
Steven
