Mileage estimates for the redesigned 2006 Honda Civic hybrid are not yet available. The 2005 version ranked fourth overall last year, behind two versions of the Insight and the Prius.

how does "Toyota Corolla (manual) -- 32/41" come in 2 places behind "Ford Escape Hybrid 4WD -- 33/29"?

Hi IMAHybrid:

___They took the EPA city and in case of a tie, they gave the gold to the one with a higher Highway EPA. In the real world with the right driver, the Corolla would more then likely best the Escape HEV overall but it would be very very close depending on the conditions and how aggressive the Corolla driver was with his hypermiling techniques while cruising around town …

___Good Luck
