I've wondered about some of these cars, but I just don't see any of them getting 35 mpg when "driven equally" (esp. for mixed driving)
Recent newspaper review of the civic reported 32mpg mixed driving, I don't see any way in hell the ford focus is getting over 30mpg if you actually drive the thing, the smartfortwo has an EPA rating of 32mpg highway, I've never seen any chevy get over 30mpg unless it's a metro, the minis seem to get in the low 30s, etc etc that pretty much leaves the yaris/corrolla and Rio in my very unscientific estimation, but I would guess the yaris is the only one capable of sustained 35mpg in mixed driving. . . maybe the chevy aveo too?
