The numbers

That eight-MPG gap shows how driving conditions affect the estimate: the Kalos uses more fuel in the city cycle and less on the highway cycle.

How it compares
The Kalos's 31 highway MPG rating is 8 MPG higher than its 23 city MPG rating. Its 26 MPG combined figure falls between those two driving estimates.
That spread makes the EPA rating more favorable for highway use than city use, while the combined number gives a middle estimate for mixed driving.
