Equivalent to most mid-sized SUVs...

At least that's how I like to think of it. I get as good or better city mileage than my wife's MDX. It gets better hwy mileage though

Biggest disappointment - no hwy overdrive gearing on 6sp

I barely get 300 miles on a full hwy tank. Granted, I average 80 mph (roughly 18.5 mpg), but In my Porsche 968 with roughly an equivalent tank I once went 438 miles.

City driving - UGH

420 mile trip -freeway 75 set speeed control 21.8 mpg TIP

some suburban driving. The average showed 63mph. Iyt was raining badly -- I was pleased .. no sign of hydroplaning.
I find that city or stop and go are the poorest -- lucky to get 14 -15
