I bet it wouldn't be a whole lot different.

Not trying to start a fight, just think it's a little silly to use 18
mpg as some sort of bragging point in this debate! 2 mpg this way or
that way is irrelevant to the planet, if that's your point, and to your
wallet too.

What I wish is that Toyota offered, in the US market, a car you can get
in Europe. It's one of those sort of minivan/wagon crosses, like a
bigger Prius sort of. Seats up to 7 people, and gets 45.6 combined
MPG! Has a small turbo-diesel engine.
