I wrote back that it seems that the fact that the RX-8 was the CLEANEST of the group, a correction is in order!

"The numbers supplied by the EPA can be somewhat misleading. For instance the 50 state Honda Insight only gets a 6, yet it is a ULEV and gets 51 mpg. We also consider CO2 as a pollutant so by virtue of having the highest fuel consumption in the group, the RX-8 produces the most C02"
Cope's last stand..
I'm not into sword fighting. I think the paragraph in question is misleading. The 2004 RX-8 /new Renesis engine has made considerable improvements over historic pollution numbers. If CR doesn't want to improve the accuracy of their reporting, that's fine.
