Underlying ratings are public-domain EPA/DOE data from fueleconomy.gov.
Methodology: for each nameplate we take the best EPA combined rating
among all rated engine/transmission versions of the model year ("up to");
segments follow EPA size classes. Heavy-duty trucks (over 8,500 lbs GVWR)
are not EPA-rated and are excluded. Every listed model links to its
VehiSales hub with live listings, market prices and reliability data where
