The following table provides a comparison of the two editions of the 2007 Toyota RAV4, the 2007 Honda CR-V, the 2007 Toyota Prius, two of the editions of the 2007 Toyota Camry, and three of the editions of the 2007 Honda Accord.
With regard to the above table, it should be noted that visitor comment dated July 22, 2005, suggests that the EPA's estimated miles per gallon for the Toyota Prius may be more accurate than Consumer Reports' reported miles per gallon. However, the difference between CR's reported miles per gallon and that of the visitor's may simply reflect a generally more conservative driving style in the Midwest.
