Strange.  Honda got a free pass on this a few years back because they throw in weasely lawyer speak about the MPG rating being an estimate.

The appeals judge "noted that the EPA's estimated miles-per-gallon ratings are for comparison among vehicles and don't take into account variations, such as how people drive and the conditions of their vehicles, that may affect fuel economy."
