Honda Mileage Funny Story

A man from California is suing Honda in a class-action case because he’s getting worse mileage than the figures on the sticker.

He says he’s averaging 32 mpg, while the sticker posts 49/51 mpg city/highway.

I scoff a bit because Honda doesn’t set the figures on the sticker, the Environmental Protection Agency does.

I no legal experts, but we don’t understand how an automaker can be at fault for being forced to put EPA figures on a sticker.

The EPA also admitted that the tests that led to 2007 and earlier figures were not accurate and instituted new tests, resulting in lower mileage figures.
