I have been renting cars for trips to phoenix from Tucson for the past year. I find that the Japanese and Korean small cars consistently get 43 mpg with about 50 miles of city driving. Actual mpg on hybrids is not much better, so why would anyone spend the extra money for one? BTW, the best mpg I got on GM small cars on these trips was 34 mpg. Honda Civic is the best all around vehicle for economy and comfort, but the Hyundai models are a close second.
