Ford Motor Co on Friday defeated an appeal by consumers who said the automaker cheated on fuel economy tests for its F-150 and Ranger trucks, allowing it to inflate mileage estimates on window stickers.

Ford was accused of misleading the EPA by intentionally miscalculating factors used in certification testing. Circuit Judge Richard Griffin, however, said federal law provided standards for the EPA's estimates, and the estimates did not need to be strictly accurate. He also said the EPA had "significant authority" to investigate and deter fraud.
Ford said in a statement it was pleased the court concluded that consumers can rely on the EPA's testing process and data.
