• Bad math??
  I find it hard to believe that, that Accord can get 62.8 MPG. Currently, that Accord sells in UK with a 2.2L i-CTDI (diesel engine) which can attain 52.3 MPG combined.
  
  Now 52.3 MPG is based on Imperial gallons which is 1.2 US Gallons. Now to convert that number to US gallons, you should do 52.3/1.2 = 43.6. Now if you do the opposite and do 52.3 * 1.2, you get 62.76 which rounds to 62.8 MPG.
  
  Coincidence that this new car gets exactly 62.8 MPG, a 44% increase in mileage, when announced in the US market? I think not! In reply to: "A diesel Honda that gets 62.8 miles a gallon?"
