Includes only gas engines. Data taken from US Department of Energy, see: http://www.fueleconomy.gov What i found interesting about all this is the Honda civic HX. It appears to be a standard vehicle with automatic transmition that gets good milage? Note: diesel engines get good milage but were not included. There is a pollution issue with diesel at present. jeff
