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: |
All those qualify for puffering.
Save on gas. What does that really mean? And what could it be construed as meaning?
good for the environment? What does that really mean? And what could it be construed as meaning?
Again, these are all salemanship and fall under that without problem, the numbers are attainable and not absurd nor going against the EPA madated listing and requirements.
Again, your points are good, but misdirected. Blame the EPA, blame all the administrations that allowed the EPA to utilize this methodology. It isn't flawed just now, it has been flawed for over 3 decades.
For you to rise up now and target Honda is just stupid. I've been complaining about it for 20 years already, along with the CAFE standards being so lax for light trucks which all SUVs are classified.
