LOL they all have the same body design now to reduce drag!
I don't really trust the EPA ratings. I knew people with the old diesel VWs. I never new any who got as little as 38 MPG. Thing here is that the EPA has been caught fudging the test. What they do is drive cars they like in testing to get the very best mileage possible. That explains why a lot of people who buy a small car complain that they are getting less than EPA ratings. Cars they don't like they drive the snot out of. That includes pickups and anything with a diesel because they really hate diesels. That explains why people with those vehicles get the same or better mileage than claimed by the EPA. I wish I had the link but I read something about a former EPA employee claiming that when they tested the Prius they never ran it faster that 45 MPH. That explains the people I know (we call em snow birds) who summer here and winter down south tell me that once on the interstate they are getting about 35 MPG. But they love em around town and the lakes. My #2 son's place of work got a couple about 3 years ago for the service techs thinking that they would save money. They normally keep cars 3 years. They dumped the Prius's after 12 months. Just were not getting the mileage claimed by the EPA.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
