Nothing wrong with proper lab tests. The open road- as you ought to know- has so many variables it is nearly impossible to test with consistency. I thought the last generation of EPA test protocol was spot-on. Yes there is individual variation between "identical" vehicles; is it large enough to worry about and/or do you think a big enough number of each model should be tested?
