Who knows, the article doesn't say anything about the car other than she didn't get her promised 50 mpg. Fueleconomy.gov shows people getting anywhere from 30 to 72 mpg with an 06 civic hybrid, so I'd say she has no grounds for a lawsuit. We all know, and as the sticker says, your mileage may vary. My guess would be her commute is horrible and/or short.
