I bet Honda is building the cars to do well in the epa testing and the average magazine road test. So the low gearing doesn't hurt the epa tests because apparently "highway" is not cruising along at 65mph, go figure, and road tests always show things like 0-60mph and not what rpms and gear changes it took to make it there. Vtech just kicked in yo!
