Well, I know that CAFE uses a vehicle's footprint (track x wheelbase), in addition to things like flex fuel capability and others, to create an 'equivalent' fuel economy number. I've heard that GM has a 22 mpg average for its cars under CAFE when you crunch the sales numbers and use the EPA mileage. But they don't have to pay any penalties because they average 27 mpg after all the 'allowances' are done.

It has to be refundable if you don't buy the car. It's illegal for anyone to take money without delivering product.

You can take him to court if he won't give your money back if you decide not to buy the car. Even if it's in writing that it's non-refundable.
