An SUV has a mass of 2136 kg (4700 lbs), and a popular compact car about 1179 kg (2593 lbs). The compact car gets about 40 mpg on the highway, and 30 mpg in the city. Given those values, if we assume that both vehicles extract about the same fraction f energy from a gallon of gas, we might estimate for the SUV mpg highway and mpg city.
