With the help of Ethanol, in mid-winter here in Connecticut, the family's two 4-cyl 9-5s have a hard time cracking 22 mpg in mostly suburban driving and the CR-V on occasion barely attained twenty(!!!). This is with the tires inflated to 32 psi and all extraneous weight removed from the vehicles. In better weather and using undiluted gas (Shell 87) they're all in the mid-20s, better (around 30 mpg)if they're on the highway a lot. I can only say I'm glad I bought the girly CR-V instead of the fine, manly pick up truck I was infatuated with back in '05. Yes, I know gas is (has been?) a relatively small part of the cost of car ownership, but I'll continue to opt for 4-cyls as long as we're getting our petroleum from those overfed, excitable, rich, halucinatory, otherwise unproductive owners of valuable mineral rights.
