Many Canadians consider fuel economy as part of their buying decision process and this is especially true when fuel prices are high. To assist you in your selection, you can access the Canadian government Energuide website for this information based on their testing. The website is http://oee.nrcan.gc.ca/transportation/personal/buying/energuide-label.cfm?attr=8
If your looking for a more realistic fuel economy number, here's some results from "Canadian Driver" that were conducted. With each vehicle getting 50 litres of fuel, they were driven until they ran out of fuel.
The winner of 13 competitors was the Toyota Corolla that travelled a distance of 1017 kilometres on 50 litres (4.9L/100km). A close second was the Honda Civic at 947 kilometres.5.3 L/100km). Final 3rd place went to the Pontiac Vibe with a distance of 854 kilometres (5.9L/100km).

Compact cars might be another short term alternative to hybrid vehicles. Something to consider.
