Everyone is in a blame-the-victim mode here. From the latest article "Honda said the Civic would get about 50 miles per gallon, but because of technical problems the car gets closer to 30 mpg."
I believe the "technical problems" refers to:
"Honda has acknowledged that the battery on 2006 through 2008 Civic hybrids "may deteriorate and eventually fail" earlier than expected. When the battery pack can't be charged to full capacity, the car relies on the gas engine more and fuel economy suffers."
In essence, the car is no longer the hybrid that was originally purchased. It's now ICE-only, or pretty close to it. So there does seem to be some merit to the lawsuit.
