And I will say again:

You may be right I have not owned many small cars, only a two VWs a 65 and 69, and 91 Toyota and a 85 Mazda.. and a 97 Cad Cataria, all which NEVER got better that 35MPG.

And we had them for years....the 69 VW was run to and back to LA and Phoenix a few times...as was the Mazda.

I am 65 so I have had a lot of cars over the years and none were MPG greats, including a 56 Studebaker with a 3 speed and OD...

So I thought as I was a machinic in my early years (points and carbs)and am still fixing and carrying for all my cars (Fuel Injected) hat I know some of what I talk about.

But I also have only owned older cars...so those that your pointing out could be doing better, BUT again I ask as most here ARE hypermillers, was those numbers stock with hypermilling or without?
