My confidence range is about 20% for this (so I'd be unsurprised if it were really 65 or 95 virtual MPG) That is pretty darn good in my opinion. But I wonder why they (the EPA) sets up a specious claim like 230 when pretty much nobody is going to believe that, except for people who believe in perpetual motion machines.
