Even with variable mileage, one would expect a vehicle to do better than what the Civic Hybrid does. It's more than a stretch to claim it on being a leadfoot when this car can only get a little more than half of the fuel economy that it advertises. Honestly, would you buy a Fit if in reality it only gave you 20 mpg instead of 30?
No matter if the fine print says "Mileage will vary" or "Mileage may vary" or if it doesn't say it at all, was it unreasonable for him to have the expectation that this hybrid vehicle would at the very least be more effeicient than a conventional Honda Civic (which it doesn't appear to be)?
