I think there's still an issue. The "EPA Combined" line is still at 22 after I refresh the image, not at 17.

But I think there's an easy fix for Debonair.

I'm pretty sure you will need to enter "17" for both the City and Highway mpg. It looks like the EcoModder site is calculating the average to get the combined number. If you already entered 17 for Combined, I think the site is ignoring it and averaging 17 & 27, getting 22.

Ya gotta tell it 17 for every EPA MPG number you can input. Then it will calc the average of 17 & 17 & 17 = 17, and all will be well.
