    The Steering Column: After 30 years, the EPA finally comes up with realistic fuel-economy estimates. - Columns - Car and Driver April 2007

    The way that EPA reports fuel economy is changing with the 2008 model year. This is especially important to know if you are comparing 2007 and 2008 models -- as you won't be able to compare the fuel economies without applying a formula...

    Quoted: During 2007, you’ll need to keep close tabs on these fuel-economy labels because, as early 2008 models are introduced, their labels will reflect the results of the new procedures, yet existing 2007 models parked next to them will still be labeled with the outdated, higher-mpg figures. The EPA has come up with a formula that can approximate the change between the old and new fuel-economy numbers, and it can be found here

      Did you read the C&D article about the head-to-head between the G35 and 328i? I'm looking for a new car - Brandon and I are going to check those out next weekend if you want to come.

      yah, i read the review this morning. by next weekend, do you mean tomorrow or next saturday? either way, i'm in.

      Brandon and I both predict the 328i will be the better choice for me, but we won't know until we drive the G35. We'll probably be going out next Saturday, 3/17.

      i have a noon-3 commitment next saturday but otherwise am wide open. would love to join in if our schedules can line up.

      will keep you updated. My bro-in-law and cousin spent all morning arguing that the G35 is a better choice.
