CNCGeek Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 I think FoutsNC is calling it right, my impression is that the TONS of Prius owning posters out there want this car to just plain fail. The war has begun... :runaway:I think you should contact Fuelly with your concerns, but I doubt that Prius owners or really anyone has so pathetic a life that they would try to skew the Fuelly numbers for any car.

C-MaxJaxon Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 It may not be Prius owners, but rather people working for marketing companies hired by other car companies that sell competing products. They could be paid to pose as real owners and post phony numbers on Fuelly, the EPA site or even on forums like this. Seems unlikely, but definitely possible.

It is not uncommon for someone to skew their MPG numbers for "bragging rights". When I had my Camry Hybrid it was a running joke on the Toyota Nation forums how much some people would lie to be the "best hypermiler"... Give it a little while and someone with a C-Max will be doing it as well.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
