What’s the real mileage?
In 2007 a class action lawsuit was brought against Honda for a number of advertisements and commercials that inflated the real world mileage of the Civic hybrid.
Consequently, owners of Civic hybrids from 2003 – 2008 will receive a DVD for improving fuel economy, $100 cash or a $1000 rebate on their next Honda.
26 states, however, have objected to this settlement, largely because the rebate does not apply to new Civic hybrids, the Insight hybrid, Fit or CRZ. Plus, a number of state attorney generals have objected to the fact that the attorneys filing this class action lawsuit are set to receive almost $3 million in legal fees.
