Some of the fuel economy values in the Top 10 sales list are incorrect and misleading. The Chevrolet Cobalt 5 speed gets up to 36 EPA highway, not the 30 mpg erroneously stated in the comments. The Impala gets up to 29 EPA Highway with the V6 engine, not 23 mpg as reported, while the Silverado gets up to 20 EPA highway, not the 16 stated on the list. The commentary significantly underreports the Chevrolet fuel economy, while claiming fuel economy values for the Camry, Accord and Civic that only the low volume hybrid versions of those models can achieve. The writer omitted this significant fact, which should have been included in the comments.
1David, thanks for the updates on the vehicles listed, and I appreciate your feedback, I agree with you, its important for the consumers to know accurate mileage.
