Re: [OM] [OT] No more big SUV (going green, sort of)

[Winsor Crosby]

I often wonder why people lie about their fuel mileage.  The best minds 
of Ford and General Motors created the tests adopted by the government 
to show off their best highway mileage, artificial as it is. Yet 
ordinary people regularly claim to exceed the mileage on the sticker of 
the car they buy under real world conditions. Better than automotive 
engineers, I guess.
On second thought it is usually the owner of an SUV or 2 ton luxury car 
that makes the claim.  Guess the truth is just embarrassing.
