Exclamation EPA info on new MPG ratings for all vehicles

epa.gov has posted info discussing everything about its new mpg rating tests. Basic info can be found at
http://www.epa.gov/fueleconomy/basicinformation.htm
which has a graphic of the new EPA fuel economy label for all new cars and light trucks.

The draft of the EPA fuel economy tests can be found here

At 179 pages, there is a lot to read. One quick summary suggests that the AC tests will be very nice to Toyota with their electric compressors. As for the rest, I've got to do the reading first. Then maybe a few experiments.
