i just saw an old ad for the 1978 Chevy Chevette .it said it got 40 mpg..how come my little work car 2010 Hyundai accent .same size as a chevette only gets 32-34 mpg?
The EPA rating has gotten tougher to reflect actual conditions.
Plus, remember that we drove 55 mph, vs. 80 now. That's a 30% increase in fuel consumption right there.
