It is not unethical in any way, shape or form if the law says that the company can't tell you that the mileage will be lower under different conditions than those tested. Again, ethics are completely irrelevant once the law is involved. The question becomes legal vs. illegal. Honda et al stayed within the bounds of the law. You are wrong. Deal with it.

For the third (fourth?) time: you aren't reading what I'm writing at all.
This isn't about them putting the sticker on the car or the figures in the commercials. Here go to the main page of the 2007 Civic Hybrid:

Honda is not legally required to suggest the cars are green, good for the environment, or 'save on gas' (as it is clear that the Hybrid does not get mileage any more than the DX, non hybrid model). To use your slightly condescending words:
