Well we should probably go with a good amount of companies to get a good look across the board. Let's just start with new cars for now...2010's or the newest model. We can select 5 models from each company and figure the cost per 1 mpg. Just select what you consider the 5 most popular lines for each company and figure cost per 1 mpg (you can do more than 5 if you want if certain companies have many popular cars or there is a hybrid version of a certain car). High cost per 1 mpg is just as important as low cost per 1 mpg to really get a good look at what cars start people off on the right track from a cost per 1 mpg point of view. When you get a chance send your info to me and I'll combine our lists and send it to SVO to publish.

Here are 27 makes...if we do 5 models in each make that will be a good start to our list...135 cars. If you want to take Acura - Jeep I will take Kia to Volvo.
Acura
Buick
Chevy
Chrysler
Dodge
Ford
Geo
GMC
Honda
Hyundai
Infiniti
Isuzu
Jeep
Kia
Mazda
Mercury
