EPA Goverment Fuel Stats for TurboBuicks
I noticed it changed recently. I guess because of the 10% ethanol additive? I'm not sure. I didn't read through the website entirely yet.
This is what the Fueleconomy.gov website says- It's good to look at for all cars, actually. Find a Car

they've changed the fuel economy tests to reflect more real-world results...i think they run at higher speeds, use the air conditioner, etc.
i think alot of it has to do with hybrids boasting high gas mileage on the window stickers but people weren't getting the mpg the manufacturers claimed. with the A/C on some hybrids get 30% worse mpg. imagine seeing 60mpg city on the window sticker, then getting 40mpg...
