I searched all over and this is what I came up with from automotive.com. These are all 2010 vehicles.
Chevy Cobalt - 25 city 37 highway
Chevy Aveo 27 34
Chevy Malibu 22 30
Chevy Equinox 20 29
Ford Fiesta 29 38
Ford Fusion 22 31
Ford Focus 24 35
Ford Escape 19 25
Honda Civic 26 34
Honda Insight 40 43
Honda Fit 28 35
Honda Accord 21 31
Toyota Prius 51 48
Toyota Yari 29 36
Corolla 26 34
Camry 22 32
Matrix 25 21
As you can see the Chevy Cobalt, Ford Fiesta and Honda Civic don't even come close to the Toyota Prius. The Honda Insight did better than the Chevy Aveo, Ford Fusion, and even the Toyota Yaris.
I don't know enough about cars to compare engine sizes but I think they are similar in size.
The Chevy Volt I believe is the car I saw advertised that runs on a battery and thus the high mileage per gallon. It can run 40 miles on the battery with no gas. The problem with this vehicle is it is going to cost about $15,000 more than cars in its category. I didn't see any information about how much it costs in electricity to charge the battery up every day. And, how long does the battery last and what it will cost to replace it? It looks like it is supposed to get around 57 mpg when using the gas part of it. i don't know how accurate that is.
Apparently Nissan is coming out with the Leaf which is totally electric and will sell for around $32,000.
I would never spend that much for a car. I have two used Toyotas that will run forever that I am very happy with. I would rather put the money somewhere else other than a vehicle, if I had that kind of money!!
