Generally, gas mileage was overstated by one or two miles per gallon.


oh shit, i'm not gonna buy the car because the advertised mpg was 1-2 higher than reality.

Theirs more important issues to be concerned with than MPG being inaccurate, like total defects and quality of build.

In other words, don't buy General Motors.

All manufactures suck. They are all FOR PROFIT company's that try to sell us mass produced garbage for a ridiculous price.

Once you realize that you can go through the pros and cons of said rip off vehicle and decide which one will rip you off the least.

pretty much this. if you want a quality well built vehicle you better buy a hand built one that costs six figures. otherwise youre gonna get mass produced production line stuff that inevitably will have problems

The way they test MPG on Hwy and city is off technology from around 1990's. If they were to use updated methods. Them MPG numbers would nose dive. And the car manufacturers need to comply to certain criteria in order to deem their cars a certain class.

It all goes back to government. Fuck it all.
