My hunch is that small cars do relatively bad on fuel;ly because for what they are used.
That will often be short city trips, like our I10 that my wife uses for the school run and the groceries and about nothing else.
Our Insight is the better drive on the highway, so we always take that for longer trips.
The Prius C gets better mileage in the city than on the highway - when its warm.
I bet it often doesn't get the chance to warm up just like our Hyundai.
You buy the car(s) that fit your needs, and choose (if possible) between them.
Even the EPA numbers cannot be compared to everyday use because of this effect.
