The EPA & its testing standards garbage can take a flying leap, Honda can follow them out the window. It's just another case of finger pointing and the blame game. Honda didn't test it, 20 year-old EPA standards never accounted for hybrid motors, so... nobody to blame but the consumer here.
In this day and age of "Nothing is my fault, and I'll sue someone." Personal responsibility is dead. Period. Maybe this dude is a duchebag and drives like a jackass, so what? Someone needs to get off their ass and test the damn car and put a realistic MPG estimate on the sticker. How hard is it to gas the fucking thing up and drive it, then write down the results?? Duh...? I assume that this method is somehow flawed or non-exact.
