I sure would feel a lot better about making definite statements after driving it, especially if the gap is tiny. My Prius is rated for 51/49, yet I don't get close to that. Would I have known if I didn't drive it? As they say on TV, there is a reason why they play the games.

Furthermore, it could not be assumed that a marine, fresh out of service would run a faster mile time than a morbidly obese couch potato who has spent the last 7 years eating twinkies and watching TV, unless they actually race eachother in a mile. Until fatass gets off his *** and runs a mile, no conclusions can be drawn, because that would be benchracing.
