    CNBC is reporting that Prius is changing the overall mileage rating from 55MPG (combined highway and city) to 46MPG. I didn't catch the whole story; did anyone see this?

    Update: This won't take effect until the 2008 models when all vehicles will adjust EPA estimates to more realistic numbers. The 2007 Prius would rate 46MPG overall if this new method were applied today.
