You know, one of my favorite artists (comic, not music) follows him and sometimes tweets at him. I always read it as "dead mau five". Then one of the local radio show guys (Alan Cox) started calling him that and I didn't get the joke at all, until several weeks later when he pointed out that it really was "dead mouse".
Still looks like dead mau five to me.

I thought the reason why they sat em-pee-gee was because they want to disconnect the (rather arbitrary, when you think of it) number from fuel economy.
They won't say it gets 40 miles per gallon. Some schmutz is going to buy it and get only 26 miles per gallon and get pissed off. But an em pee gee is a unit of measure that has little basis in reality so saying 40 em pee gee is perfectly cromulent.
