Why is Honda being sued for EPA estimates?

The Environmental Protection Agency tests, and sets, the fuel economy estimates advertised on your new car's window sticker, but yet when a consumer fails to achieve those milage estimates the auto maker is held responsible? Why? How can Honda be held financially responsible for a MPG estimate set by the EPA? Why is the EPA not held responsible for their milage estimates?

    Honda guarenteed that the estimates would be met. In most cases estimates are close, but here Honda did not do their due diligence and check behind EPA, they were 40% off. Of course EPA always has the disclaimer that these are estimates and may be very different than reality.
