GUESS WHAT.. EDIT --- I WAS WRONG it is 18mpg ... dads going to be bummed again..

Wrong info ..>>>>>>>>>>>
I found a error in the cars.gov site , and a very big one, the site says 18mpg or less to participate, the LAW actually states 22mpg or less for "passenger cars" and 18mpg for class 1 trucks.

I guess thats government work for ya..

Anyways this will make my dad very happy, his junker Dayton he drives, actually my old car, gets 21mpg average, he was bummed when he thought he didn't qualify at 18mpg.. now he can get his hybrid or high MPG car.

I emailed the cars.gov people and the NTHSA (or whatever it is) about the error.. well see how quick they are to correct it.. ay one want to make a wager on there speed to correct it
