EPA requires correct fuel economy listings

Clark has received some phone calls lately from Prius owners who aren’t getting the gas mileage they were promised when they bought the cars. That is due in part to the fact that the Monroney labels on cars have had inflated fuel economy numbers. The Detroit automakers wanted an advantage in the market and they have gotten away with it to the detriment of car buyers. The inflated numbers have been on all cars, but hybrid buyers have been the most outspoken about the discrepancy because they were counting on getting a certain number of miles per gallon. Well, the EPA has gotten involved and has established rules requiring the correct MPG figure on the Monroney label from now on. So, when you check the sticker, you can be sure that is the fuel economy you’ll get.

This week's poll
Many recent college grads don't know how to dress professionally for work. Have you ever thought someone in your workplace was dressed inappropriately?
Yes. I've seen co-workers in outfits that show way too much skin.
No. I work in a very relaxed environment and anything goes.
Maybe. Some clothing I've seen on the job is questionable.
