    The reason for this is because I found a high dgree in variance among what dealers are putting on the stickers.

    For instance my 2008 says 45 city and 48 hwy
    but my friends 2007 sticker from the same dealer says 57 city 60 hwy?:confused:

    They are both EPA average mpgs. The EPA changed the way they computed mpg for all vehicles in 2008.

    Yes, there should only be two versions. THe EPA updated the method for testing for all cars in 2008, yeilding the 46 city, 45 highway which I think is fairly accurate for moderately agressive drivers.

    Check again on the 2007 sticker. I will be very surprised if it doesn't read 60 city, 51 highway.
