RE:" Now I'll give VWOA that the national speed limit in 83 was 55MPH, but even then c'mon 19 MPG CITY! "Use estimated mpg for comparison to other cars. Your actual mileage may vary with speed, weather and trip length. Highway Mileage will probably be less." It should say "Your actual mileage will vary if you live anywhere other than the fantasy world!" "
Jeff, The mileage estimates do not come from the vehicle manufacturer, they are form the federal government. This might explain why they can't balance the budget. The figures are computed by the EPA under "ideal" driving conditions, this assumes that we all spend our days on a chassis dynomometer, not local roads and highways. Mark in AK |
