New EPA Testing Reduces Gas Mileage Estimates

What Has Changed?

What has changed is the way the EPA records the fuel economy for automobiles. The updated 2008 window sticker reflects a broader, updated range of real world factors that estimate closer to your actual fuel usage. This is due to the first changes in fuel economy testing since 1984. So that Prius that suppose to get 60 MPG now has a new estimate of 48 MPG.

Of course you X owners don't really care about gas milage estimates right?
