This testing includes a set course for the cars to run. The majority is highway with some city driving mixed in. The car is driven in a non-aggressive, lightly accelerating/decelerating manner. The course is roughly 53 miles, and the fuel economy rating is from the car's onboard fuel economy readout.

*Key: (Displacement/Layout/Fuel Type) D = Diesel, G = Gas, GH = Gas Hybrid
