Legal Question in Consumer Law in Florida

We purchased a vehicle last week under the 'cash for clunkers' program. On the official website, our car had a combined MPG of 18 (which made our vehicle qualify). The dealer pulled up the same information and we signed all of the papers and drove away our new car. Today the dealership called us to inform us that our car no longer qualifies, as it NOW has a combined MPG of 19. We pulled up the site andd it looks different and the MPG is infact different. We have 2 printouts showing the MPG at 18. QUESTION: Do we have to return the car, or is it upto the dealership to fight the government for changing information???

I dont see a car dealership taking on the Federal Government for payment on one vehicle. They would more likely sue you. Maybe you can reach a comprosmise.
