Well, the guy gets bonus points for being a complete jackass for believing anything that a profit-seeking mega-corporation releases. Money-money.
Example: My General Motors (made in Canada / Asia) truck supposedly gets 24 miles a gallon. Downhill. With a tailwind. They'll post 24 because they can get away with it legally. Has nothing to do with the actual reality.
Consumer reporting organizations would get a thumbs up here. I'm sure if I got on the Intarweb and looked up customer experiences with Honda Hybrids... I'd find the real MPG ratings of this vehicle in practice as opposed to lab conditions.
(hands out T-shirts for everyone) I DID THE RESEARCH.
