Nothing 'real' about EPA mileage estimates. Is the testing done by the manufacturers still on a 'treadmill' without the vehicle actually on the road, driven real world, in a variety of conditions & driving styles?

The only concern the manufacturers have for EPA figures is CAFE! CAFE! CAFE! Ram's worry, like Ford's, like GM's, is being able to keep a very 'important to their bottom line' product in the marketplace. It ain't rocket surgery.............

And of course, your mileage may vary.............:B

This is a few years old but these guys tried comparing real world with the Canadian test cycle.
