Yet the Prius is getting worse mileage.
With most of the members of this forum getting >20% better than EPA estimated figures, I'm guessing that those drivers on fuelly.com aren't driving with enough of an "eye" for mileage.
Also, I agree that people who report on fuelly.com are interested in fuel economy, and they are the same people who would be drawn to fuel efficient cars (like the Hyundai line up). However, neither of those facts mean that those drivers are actually knowledgeable of hypermiling techniques.
And by "sporty," I was simply referring to the fact that the Hyundai have better performance numbers than their Toyota and Honda counterparts. Having an increased power-to-weight ratio often leads to more aggressive (and consequently less fuel efficient) driving.
