Thanks for the info! I had no idea that it was only for comparing
apples to apples. That makes sense, but it really doesn't help the
scum of the earth such as myself. Even though I have no desire to
drive from one dealership to the next just to compare a number 5 car to
another number 5 car. I want to know what that the number 5 car will
do for me in the real world where I will be using it.

I really like how you people grow large behind a keyboard.

Thanks again!

Your friend always,

p.s. Did you help design the EPA Mileage tests? You give the
impression that you did by the vehemence in which you defend the idiocy.
