Nowhere has anyone said they get 70-80mpg on average. The only time 80mpg is mention is for one journey. Obviously a good day and a favorable journey for efficiency. But it was never presented as anything different. I've corrected you on this already but you keep banging on about it. You keep refuting this 70-80mpg thing that no-one has said at all. This kind of ignoring facts and twisting of words and numbers is what makes me think you have some kind of axe to grind.
=================================
quote from a previous post .
"The Hyundai average surpasses 70mpg and on a 350 mile trip last year it topped 80mpg."
i think its quite fair to take issue with this .
again i have no axe to grind , i dont do politics.
i am very pro hybrids , my next car will be a hybrid.
READ THE WORDS. One trip of 80mpg and 71mpg on average. The excel screenshot showed the average. That is very different from 70-80mpg. 70-80mpg would average at about 75mpg which was never claimed. The 71mpg got on average will include 80mpg trips like the one mentioned and 60mpg to balance it out. And everything in between I'm sure. So it's not the same thing. You've twisted the words.
