I also highly doubt, in the cars current condition, it is getting 20mpg.
yeah, the government mpg rating is not very accurate to people who have mechanical issues with their cars and don't achieve that rating even if they drive it like a grandma... hell my 3.4 was getting like 10-15mpg when i had a bad EGR... if it is meant to get clunkers off the road, i think they should raise that number a little bit... it really doesn't look like its costing them all that much too support this... i read 4-5 billion... which is nothign compared to all the other money they have been throwing out... and considering it shoudl help boost car sales significantly
