People are finding that the claimed EPA mileage isn't even close to
reality on their hybrid cars. The EPA uses emissions to take a wild
guess at the your vehicle's estimated fuel mileage, but in reality,
you'll more likely only get 75 to 87 percent of that number.

Dak content: I guess I should really celebrate getting 19 MPG on the
highway now, instead of saying "well it's about time I saw the sticker
mileage on this thing."
