So in the sense it would be interesting to see if the smaller sample was indicative of the larger sample or even differences in variance.

Replying to: caaz (Dec 14, 2007 8:14 pm) We all have our priorities and often times will go out of our way to justify them. Personally, my everyday scoot around car needs to be inexpensive to purchase, economical, easy to park/maneuver, and low maintenance.. However for highway trips we are more concerned with comfort and room. So we take the Pilot, which gets considerably less mileage than the scoot car. If we only had one car and it was too noisy, we would probably consider trading for a compromise It is about priorities!  Kip |

Replying to: drmbb (Dec 15, 2007 6:33 am) Indeed just looking at the raw data, it is amazing how Congress really expects the OEMS to really put a 35 mpg AVERAGE SET of vehicles out there when one of the best current (non hybrid) ones has a hard time getting any consistency. I mean EPA of 29/38 is way good!!! Yet there is still a variance of 24%!!?? Yet on the other hand they try and succeed in banning Jetta's TDI that gets EPA 42/48 !!!?? This seems not to be really about 35 mpg. This seems to be really about significanly increasing the cost per mile driven.
