I have a question.

Using that site http://www.fueleconomy.gov/ are the fuel economy numbers adjusted to normalize pre/post 2008 testing standards?

For 2008 and newer models, the testing standards are different and tougher. Sort of like the old Horsepower ratings on muscle cars to today’s cars, you can’t compare the two, it’s not apples and apples. A car that was rated to have say 22highway in 1993 probably would rate 19 highway or so for 2009.

I have no idea. Maybe it's answered by a motorhead already on the thread. I haven't finished reading it yet. I'm doing some other stuff right now.
