Here is an interesting way to raise MPG results

Honda settles odometer lawsuit

"Honda is notifying 6 million owners of Hondas and Acuras that they are entitled to warranty extensions and, in some cases, payments because odometers in their vehicles rolled up miles too fast."

The honda that I purchased has a 3% - 4% higher odometer reading than the actual travel. This results in between 1 and 2 more MPG. That gives the driver a false sense of a betterment. Some of the OEM's that we have discussed here have paid hundreds of millions of dollars to gain 1 to 2 MPG, while Honda cheated on it. Very interesting.

Interesting that the article focuses on the warranty and not the real concern which is the MPG results. However, I agree the warranty issue is important too.
