The cars listed in the chart were 2011 cars claiming to get 40 mpg (plus a few 2012 cars, plus a couple cars near 40 mpg) based on a Motor Trend article. Not sporty or economy based.

You'd think that people reporting their fueling data would be more inclined to drive with an 'eye' on the accelerator pedal. Thus, numbers at fuelly.com, for example, should actually be better then the total driving population mpg numbers.
