I was watching television tonight (a raresome occasion) and saw a commercial for the new Mitsubishi Outlander. It's a nice little s.u.v. that has a smallish engine and six-speed transmission. Therefore, it gets decent gas mileage. During the montage of the commercial the camera shows the dashboard, specifically the display that acts as the odometer and trip computer. This is shown because the company wants you to see the transmission switching gears rapidly up from four to five and then six. If you look above these numbers you'll notice that the gas mileage is displayed in real time. The estimated mileage for for the 4wd version is 19/25 . And what did the readout show? 11.7 mpg. Call me crazy, but I don't think that's really something you want to advertise for your midsize, car-based s.u.v.

Those liars! If the whole PhD thing doesn't work out, you should be a private investigator. Okay, I watch too many police shows...
