Ford ended up re-stating fuel economy figures for the C-Max and Car companies conduct their own mileage testing subject to audits by the EPA. Most provide accurate data, the newspaper reported. Automakers that exaggerate their fuel economy ratings face penalties. The EPA recently fined Hyundai and its sister company The EPA is also hoping to improve the road load tests that determine $360 million settlement for overstating fuel economy ratings. Ford also had to drop mileage ratings on its 2013 C-Max hybrid from 47-mpg combined to 43-mpg combined, while the Lincoln Ford, Hyundai, Mercedes, BMW and others have also been ordered to downgrade their fuel economy ratings on certain models, an embarrassing move that can potentially cost sales.

Our test car got 34 mpg overall All this points out how crucial fuel economy ratings are to automakers and the lengths they will go to to get higher ratings. But better ratings .

critics say those mileage ratings are notoriously unreliable, even under optimal conditions. That's because the mileage tests are conducted with professional drivers inside of laboratories using better-performing fuel and with air conditioning turned Automakers determine gas-mileage ratings based on tailpipe-emissions tests Why don't automakers and the EPA offer car shoppers more explicit guidance?
