If one of the the biggest banks in my country pulls in background images from http, on there https secure account login page, this can't be a security risk, can it?
It can be, if the bank's using that as the "known image" so you "know" you're on the correct page. Phishing attacks would become easier if attackers could use this to figure out which images were associated with which user accounts.
In my experience the EPA figures have usually off by several MPG, with "American" cars typically having lower MPG than the EPA estimates and "foreign" cars typically higher. It's odd that I don't see GM and Chrysler being investgated. Or perhaps the EPA itself needs to be investigated...
This used to be true. The EPA revised how MPG is calculated a few years back (2008 I think). It's more-accurate now. That's why you'll see a people posting below that they get better than the EPA estimate.
