Celby, as I understand the YEAR MODELS chosen for the program it was those that had verifiable EPA mpg ratings. Which I guess started somewhere around 1985. |
That would be reasonable if the EPA ratings were anything you could rely on. They are just as political as anything else. We used to have a Ford Focus with EPA rating of 32MPG HWY. I still have my 03 Mustang GT with lower gears, exhaust, chip reprogram and intake change that was originally rated at 22 MPG HWY. Problem is I got 26 MPG HWY in the Focus and the GT with it's mods gets 26MPG HWY. Those numbers are real calculations with me driving.
