I clicked on a "Best MPG Cars" link at TheWeatherChannel.com:

Strange... when you look at the main list, it's almost as if Honda didn't even give them cars to test. But when I clicked on the 'see complete listings' for small car, our HCH was right there on the top.

Looks like their "main" comparison page coding is screwed up since it has the columns for City/Hwy MPG but doesn't show what they are. It should list the top 3 vehicles in each class (which it does for all classes except Small Cars). It looks like Toyota may have paid some $$ to have 3 of their vehicles on the "main" page.

I think it's funny they consider the Honda Fit a station wagon! That thing is smaller than the Prius. And they consider the Prius a mid-size? Does anyone know the passenger and cargo cu-ft for both the HCHII and the Prius?

Yeah... I think it's pretty obvious Toyota had a LOT more to do with this study than Honda.

It is kinda funny. The list is from the government via weathermen. It has to be wrong! :p
