I read an article recently that said fuel efficiency ratings were inflated on a new car (of which I can't remember).
What I'd really like to see is the 1.0L 3cyl or diesel Yaris coming to America.....
speaking of that... A woman sued American Honda co because her hybrid civic wasnt getting the mpg they were claiming she would get.... needless to say she won that lawsuit and about another handful or so of hybrid honda owners are coming up to the plate doing that same thing.

As for my Yaris i enjoy it as i checked last night, im getting around now 28.9 MPG. im sure i can increase that with a little better driving

I don't understand how she won that suit other than they just paid her off to get it over with. I have NEVER seen any manufacturer guarantee MPG's, they state "up to" and "average" none of which equate to "you are guaranteed to get x MPG".

i recall hearing dealers claim cars are supposed to get somewhere near the 40s or 50s in MPG. it was just her though, it was actually a class action lawsuit with other owners but she toke them to small claims court and she won .
