Ford Fudged Speed, Mileage | theledger.com | The Ledger | Lakeland, FL
Just a short letter to the editor, but still pretty interesting. Evidently Ford intentionally tricked people into thinking they were getting better mileage than they were by running the speedo at a higher pace.
EPA testing may cost money, but at least it prevents us from being scammed on the large scale by automakers like this. Of course Ford is a different company nowadays, but as much deceptive advertising as there is in the auto industry now I wouldn't be surprised if this sort of thing still went on if we didn't have such strict testing and regulations.
