I would make the distinction that any new car is probably going to be easier to beat in terms of the new EPA figures. The new EPA figures are more realistic, but they "lower the bar" relative to the old EPA figures.
But as others have said, drivetrains are different. You have to get to know each one to see how it behaves. From my POV, you need to be a member of at least two forums to get good MPG. You should be a member of ecomodder.com and a forum strictly devoted to your car, like saturnfans.com .
