The Environmental Protection Agency said the Gallardo has a top speed of 196 mph and gets 17 miles to the gallon on highways.

that's as good as a lot of the trucks and SUVs around here

Dayumn, 196 MPH + 17 MPG = Good commuter car
Wouldn't take ya long to go to work and you'd get good mileage to boot....

Why would they go to the EPA for the info. on the car's top speed?

I can understand the EPA having stats on what kind of fuel mileage cars get but I find it weird that they are the source for this info. in this article.

Didn't say it got 17mpg @ 196. Just said the EPA mpg is 17. EPA tests are done at average road speeds.

I know it dosen't get 17 mpg @ 196mph but if you read the last paragragh of the article it says

Right, 2 separate points.

1. Top Speed = 196.
2. 17mph highway.
