I saw that, but if you look at their actual gas mileage used in the test,
it is the same as the Ford Ranger (which aslo got 18 mpg) and they didn't
complain about the Rangers MPG. I write for a motorcycle magazine and I
bet what happened is the person writing the story was doing it off
spec-sheets instead of their own data!
