I, for one, am happy that John Voelcker got a chance to drive the LEAF again and report on it, despite Nissan making it financially possible. The reason for this is a matter of "trust". After reading John for years now, I trust him to report honestly on his experience (even if I don't always agree with his perspective).

That trust is important and the GCR disclosure is part of keeping that trust.

Do the rap lyrics indicate that they should put the top down? That's not going to happen in an i-MiEV

The loss of space in the load-bay for the C-Max energi is a real disappointment. But otherwise, it looks like a great vehicle. Nice interior.

For what it is worth, the MPG numbers on my Prius are very close to the numbers calculated based on fill-ups.

In fact, the computer based MPGs for a single fill-up are probably more accurate because the automatic shutoff on the filling station pumps are not 100% reliable.

Of course, over multiple tanks, the filling station numbers are the most reliable.
