2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid

Hyundai has announced that it has voluntarily begun to report its monthly sales data in a miles per gallon-weighted format. For example, Hyundai reported that its sales-weighted Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) level for the month of January was 34.7 mpg.

Breaking down the numbers by vehicle type, Hyundai's car sales averaged 36.4 mpg and its minivans and crossovers hit 29.8 mpg. Two months ago, Hyundai broke out totals for every vehicle it sold with a 40-mpg rating or higher. At that time, Hyundai dared other automakers to follow its lead. The Korean automaker's aggressive push to raise the fuel efficiency bar has been going on for years.
