MPG figures for automobiles are accurate also? My point is that the
manufacturers test may be accurate but the parameters are not.

MPG numbers can be expected to have some validity for comparison
purposes. Bob's advice is along the lines of "ignore the MPG figure
completely, just buy the car and see what mileage it gets", e.g., that
a manufacturer shouldn't be taken to task for rating their car "300
mpg" when it actually gets worse mileage than a Hummer.
