30. Good points, Xithras.
It is easy to be unreceptive to the new data based on prior experience with the study, but the Prius is moving up the scale, based on the factors they chose to include. If those include information provided by the manufacturer, that would have to be the best data available. We all know what common sense tells us, but it is hard to make the data fit our facts sometimes...
