Ah, I'm sincerely sorry! Also have to tell you then, that your better half is likely prettier than you are. As a side note, when I had the yellow cockateil bird avatar... that wasn't me either... lol.
Thanks Mike, though I am sure that explains some of it, but still doesn't explain a drop from 63 to 35mpg for the Prius hybrid. Anyways, its not like the EPA ratings were something even vaguely accurate anyways... lol
This is due more to the fact that fuel economy is measured differently now, in 1984 the EPA adjusted its method of testing which reduced reported figures by 22%. In 2008 and did the same thing, taking another 12% off those figures. I doubt that many cars from 1982 could actually do 50mpg.
