I think it is 
conjured up by a bunch of bean-counters with calculators. The actual numbers will be no where near that.

There was no actual leafy plant anywhere. I have NO idea what I got it from but that was the only significant time I have spent outside that could have given me the rash. It had to come from something on the roof or in the gutters.
I am very sensitive to that stuff so I'm not actually surprised.

I did not read your article, Dan, but I heard about it on CNBC this morning. What they were saying is that the projected rating is only based upon math and a formula provided by the EPA. NOT on actual testing.
Until they put that thing on the road and drive it around for a couple of months, I am crying. Go ahead and call me a skeptic but I think it is GM just trying to save their ass.
We all know that the EPA ratings do not even approximate reality simply because doing so is impossible. I am not saying anyone is at fault just that the system doesn't work.

And no ish GM is trying to save its arse. Duh. What you missed by not clicking on Dan's link was a live feed by Fritz Henderson fielding questions from both onsite and from the interwebs.
