The data presents the vehicles leading in each of the vehicle subcategories.
The source provides the following supplementary information: "Rankings are based on combined city and highway fuel economy estimates, which assume 55% city driving and 45% highway driving."
As electricity is not measured in gallons, a conversion factor is used for hybrid and electric vehicles to translate the fuel economy into miles per gallon of gasoline equivalent.
