THE GAS MILEAGE ON 13 MODELS WAS FOUND TO BE ONE-TO-SIX MILES PER GALLON LOWER THAN ADVERTISED.

THE E-P-A LAUNCHED AN INVESTIGATION AFTER A FLOOD OF CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS.

BUYERS COULD GET A 15-PERCENT PREMIUM FOR THE INCONVENIENCE --

SO, THE OWNER OF A CAR WITH A ONE MILE-PER-GALLON DIFFERENCE WHO DROVE 15-THOUSAND DOLLARS WOULD EXPECT TO GET 88 DOLLARS BACK.

EXTRA CLIP-CLIP

BOY CAN'T EAT FOOD-TC MON

IN TONIGHT'S A-B-C SEVEN EXTRA --

A FLORIDA BOY HAS NOT EATEN A MORSEL OF FOOD IN EIGHT YEARS.

BOY CAN'T EAT FOOD-PKG

It's lunch time at Pineview Middle School in Land O Lakes.

The 7th graders all hop up to get food, leaving Remington Walls behind with what looks like only a juice box in hand. "It's like a nutrition shake that comes in a few flavors, but I only drink one."

One flavor, 12 to 16 times a day. A mini-fridge in school must stay stocked full of these boxes.

Remington may look like a healthy 12-year-old, but he can't eat solid food. No pizza, no Doritos -- definitely no school lunch. When he does, "I cough a lot, and sometimes I vomit. I get really sick."

I first met Remington when he was only four years old. He was going through tests to figure out why. His mother Stephanie finally got a diagnosis. "Remington has Eosinophilic Esophagitis. It's also known as EE. Basically he's allergic to all foods."

Since his diagnosis, he's tried different foods, but they've damaged his esophagus. His mom says, "There's not a cure and we're still going down a long road. We still don't know what his prognosis is."

Remington just wants to stay off a feeding tube, so he can play ball and be the Pineview mascot. But that probably means a food-free world forever.

BOY CAN'T EAT FOOD-OC

THIS RARE DISEASE CAN BE MANAGED THOUGH.

LONGEST WED COUPLE-VO

SOME SAD NEWS TO BRING YOU TONIGHT --

BEER WATER-SSWIPE

WORKERS AT AN ANHEUSER-BUSCH PLANT IN GEORGIA ARE SUPPORTING THE SANDY RELIEF EFFORT THE BEST WAY THEY CAN.

THEY SHUT DOWN ONE OF THE LINES PRODUCING BEER.

INSTEAD, THEY'RE PUMPING OUT CANS OF EMERGENCY DRINKING WATER.

THIS IS THEIR FINAL PRODUCT.

THEY'LL CHURN OUT MORE THAN A MILLION TO SEND UP NORTH -- WHERE THEY REALLY NEED IT.

BEER ELECTION-VOTOPS

A BAR IN TEXAS HAS COME UP WITH A UNIQUE WAY TO PREDICT WHO WILL WIN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

THEY ARE OFFERING PATRONS TWO DIFFERENT MUGS --

ONE FOR OBAMA THAT SAYS "FOUR MORE BEERS" -- THE OTHER FOR ROMENY, IT SAYS "START A NEW TAB."

ELEPHANT SPEAKS KOREAN-NATVOTOPS

two elephant words

DID YOU HEAR THAT?

A LOT OF PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT ELEPHANT SPEAKS KOREAN.

THE 22-YEAR-OLD CAN MIMIC SEVERAL KOREAN WORDS -- INCLUDING "HELLO," "SIT DOWN" AND "NO" --

WHICH, I SAY, MAKES HIM QUALIFIED TO BE AN USHER AT THE MOVIES.

SCIENTISTS SAY THE ELEPHANT USES ITS TRUNK TO MIMIC WHAT OUR TONGUE AND LIPS DO WHEN WE SPEAK.
