Only showing highway mpg can be deceptive because the ratio of highway to city mpg varies between vehicles. It's not telling the whole story.
Example:
Cruze diesel 46 mpg highway, 27 city
Prius C also 46 mpg highway, but 53 city
By advertising only the highway number, Chevrolet makes the Cruze sound as efficient as the Prius, when in reality its combined mpg is only 2/3 as much and city mpg is only half as good as the Prius.
