I still want to know how you guys got a 20.5 MPG fill. Guess it was with heavy idling and performance testing. A good indication of a car's MPG (at least with Honda) with the MPG meter as you drive. 1/4th shows 20 MPG, Half way shows 40 MPG, then 60 and 80 MPG. So, you could reasonably expect somewhere around 40 MPG. For our 13 Pilot as a comparison, its 10 MPG, 20 MPG for halfway, 30 and 40 and ours averages 19.5 MPG.

To AVERAGE 20 MPG that means that you had to have your foot on the throttle heavily the whole time.
