That's too bad for Nissan. The hammer of bad publicity is about to come down on them.
I've come to really dislike CR. They play to the public's overconfidence in its own intelligence with their air of scientific inquiry, when their process is, "Hey, we removed the controls on all the variables that actually allow you to compare things like vehicle fuel economy with any consistency. Now we're going to scream about how our results varied! Oogie boogie!" Meanwhile, John Q. Public thinks that because they write, "...CR runs its own tests to simulate what consumers are more likely to experience in daily use," their results are perfectly valid and applicable to Mr. Public's own use case because they used science-y words like "test" and "simulate."
