[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 2400027, member: 26737"] If there are questions, the EPA thoroughly checks the data. The only manufacturer that has been found to be cheating on the tests was Hyundai. The EPA tests are conducted in test facilities (i.e, wind tunnels); that's the only way to make them uniform. The EPA numbers aren't there to tell you what you'll get out of a vehicle, only what that vehicle can do relative to other vehicles. If you want to cross-shop an F150, a Cruze, and an S80 on mileage, you can, because the vehicles were all tested with the same methodology under the same conditions. FWIW, I'm beating the EPA numbers in my '13 F150 5.0, getting ~20 MPG in mixed mileage. [/QUOTE]
