You know the MPG numbers in the window? Those are required to be there by law. They are only allowed to be calculated in the way that the EPA dictates. You have to accurately represent what the results are, no matter if the test is inherently flawed or not.
Again, Honda (or any other carmaker) did not do anything wrong here. They obeyed the law to the letter. If they had posted different, lower numbers, they would have been breaking the law. Honda did not misinform anyone. To the contrary, they actually did inform people of the results as required by law.
Blaming Honda in this argument makes no sense to me at all.

Are they legally required to include them in commercials suggesting that the hybrid is better for the environment because of it's superior mileage? Are they legally required to have their sales people suggest those are reasonable numbers?
Of course I 'get it'. They're using the EPA's blunder to their advantage. [I]They're passing on the misinformation, misinformation that they benefit from.[/O] I don't know how you're not getting it.
