Nice to see the Maverick being recognized for its fuel sipping nature, although not really surprising too. We all know how great the hybrid is in that regard.

The question with this article on Ford Authority is how did Consumer Reports only record 33 mpg in city driving?

"To compile this list, Consumer Reports looked at its own overall fuel economy results derived from testing, which is calculated based on equal parts city and highway driving using a precision flow meter and then rounded to the nearest mile per gallon. However, it is worth noting that this list doesn’t include plug-in hybrid vehicles, though each one on the list achieved at least 37 miles-per-gallon during testing.

The Ford Maverick Hybrid made the cut by returning 33 miles-per-gallon in the city, 39 on the highway, and 37 mpg combined during its test period, giving it an annual fuel cost of $1,315. The first-ever pickup to come standard with a hybrid powerplant, the Maverick impressed with its fuel-sipping results, and in fact, was the only non-crossover or sedan to make this particular list."

I assume they just accidentally put the numbers backwards in the article.
