CNW Marketing did the same 'treatment' to the Civic: Civic Hybrid - 113,000 miles (CNW claim) - 45.3 mpg (114 vehicles)
Civic - 178,000 miles (CNW claim) - 34.1 mpg (22 vehicles) or 31.5 (112 vehicles) These were for the 2006 Civics. As long as the operational energy costs remain 3-4 times more than the build cost, the differences between vehicle construction energy becomes vanishingly small.
