Photos: EPA's most fuel-efficient cars
Every year, the Environmental Protection Agency complies a list of the top 10 overall most fuel-efficient cars in the country. For 2011, the Toyota Prius remains on top, but the new 2011 Honda CR-Z enters the fray, displacing the popular 2011 Toyota Camry Hybrid. Among the top hybrids, fuel economy often is higher in city driving.

Again, Hyundai is ignored. Get real.

Why do five of these cars get better gas milage in the city than country? Is it bad engineering or bad reporting?

Also ignored are the clean-burn diesels from VW/Audi. They get just as good or better economy than the hybrids and they don't have the expensive and toxic battery pack.
Btw, most hybrids get worse economy on the freeway because the continuous driving cycle doesn't have enough stops and starts to both charge and use the battery. The freeway is where the diesel shines, but mine gets 35 mpg even in city driving. Not only that, I don't have a $3k battery pack to replace.
