A Honda Civic Lesson
By Eric Peters
The American Spectator
January 6, 2012

All hybrid makers are now vulnerable to lawsuits for "false advertising."

Heather Peters (no relation to this writer) is hopping mad at Honda. She says her '06 hybrid Civic's actual mileage more than just varied: About 30 MPG vs. the EPA (and Honda) advertised 50 MPG. So she's going after Honda in court -- small claims court -- for $10,000. Which is the maximum payday she can get there. Honda is concerned because if Peters wins, other hybrid owners may use the same tactic -- and $10,000 times all the potentially unhappy Civic hybrid owners out there, of which there are hundreds of thousands, could add up to a lot more than $10,000 in no time at all.

Peters, a lawyer, estimates it could potentially add up to as much as $2 billion.
