EPA Investigation Prompts Carmaker to Correct Inflated Mileage Claims
I nearly froze to death near the DMZ in South Korea in a new small Hyundai van. It was so cold that the heater could not keep us warm whilst some bunch of local grunts tried to dig us out of a snow bank my local driver decided to explore. I took it back to the dealer in Soeul and terminated the lease because the engine was so small it never generate enough heat to warm the cab. When fully loaded in the hills it needed pedals fitting!

This relates to the topic at hand or even Korean cars made for the USA market how?

There was no lawsuit. Hyundai took pre-emptive action. Many other other automakers could be in the same boat.
Too bad the EPA never gets the blame. Their highway test protocol is an estimate at an average of 48.3 mph on rollers, not real world conditions. Test speed never exceeds 60 mph and is there only briefly.

Wrong.

Further, every vehicle I've ever owned or driven has handily beaten its EPA highway mileage estimate.

It has been two decades since I owned a car that did not get at least 15% better mialge than the EPA numbers (and this includes one Ferrari). Thus, it is how you drive then that maters.

I drove a car that for many tens of thousands of miles, AVERAGED above the EPA HWY numbers and that was doing 75 mph on the hwy. Got a 2005 Saturn Vue that *may* hit the 'old' EPA numbers if I don't go over 65 mph. It can vary greatly by car, I've found.
Hypermiling to beat EPA numbers doesn't count.
