Default Hyundai & Kia fudge mpg numbers

If you own a hyundai or a kia bought from 2010 on it looks like you're gonna get paid for driving it. The 2 companies fudges their mpg ratings to be over 40mpg and the epa couldn't replicate that. Now they have nothing over 40mpg

Hyundai, Kia to pay 900,000 owners for overstating mileage on window stickers | Motoramic - Yahoo! Autos

They get their mpg's by testing in ideal situations. Far from real world numbers you and I could possibly get.

I agree with Mike. Every auto maker does it. Those are just the latest two to get caught. Perhaps because they inflated their numbers too much?
