Here is the press release. I still find the numbers a little dubious, i.e. how does it cost Honda $24k in energy costs to manufacture 1 civic, when it sells for less than that. The full report should be available for fee around May 1. Nonetheless, the results are very interesting.

Probably because I assume they consider gas and maintenace into the total cost, which the consumer pays for rather than Honda.
