this is all nice and well, but this is NOT average FE - since it is not sales/weighted.... there have been data published that show similar information, but in a MUCH more respectable manner

Just averaging the EPA MPG rating over the models is useless - I can release six 1.1l I4 diesel hybrid Plug in version of all my models (manual/auto4/auto6 FWD/AWD) which no one buys, and I will ROCK that "survey" - because for say 6 regular "models" of each model, I Will have these 6 fake ones with some astonishing 60mpg rating.
