I too would like to see their methodology and exactly where they are giving and taking away points. My bet is their first fail is to use EPA numbers, then they probably fail to penalize things they like that are harmful like added batteries and their replacement. Then add lots of points for how pure exhaust is even though the difference from high to low in modern cars isn't much. My pet peeve is the catalytic converter, it's time to rethink it's benefits to it's cost of production and use especially outside of big cities.
