Definitely a good question. I think that the majority use the new EPA numbers because it makes it easier to compare the "old EPA" cars to the "new EPA" cars. It also makes it more relevant when you have a conversation with someone that is considering a new car versus getting bogged down in old-epa versus new-epa discussions.

I prefer the old-epa figures because they are harder to beat, but I use the new-epa in my Garage. This way my MPG signature at the bottom of this post is comparable to other people's cars.

However, it is up to you.
