Forgot to mention it's an AWD and 87 octane. I haven't noticed any difference in fuel economy between 87 and 91. If anything, it seems as if I get higher mpg with 87.

Update at 5000 miles
The 8 speed is really allowing the engine to stay in its efficient zone when driven moderately.
Regular gas and Dunlop 19" tires.
We live in Westminster MD, northwest of Baltimore.
Most of our driving has been my wife's daily commute.
I think the 8 speed is a game changer....gmAttachment 278405

Not a lot of Interstate in this 5K, and I am impressed with that MPG.

|Onefastdoc,
What was the temperature when you raced uphill to Vegas from California? If you keep your speed down you will get much better mileage, even a Prius would get terrible mileage driven so agressively in the middle of the desert

Uh, yeah, I think anyone would know that. Obviously driving at higher speed, uphill, passing slower cars, desert heat is going to diminish fuel economy. I wasn't trying to get good fuel economy. I was trying to get to Vegas ASAP. I am simply reporting what kind of real world mpg I get and the conditions in which they were obtained. Clearly I drove more conservatively coming home and thus the improved mpg.
On a side note, I checked out the new MDX. Has a usable 3rd row and 28mpg. Hmmm, tempting.

Swapping my 10 for a 13 today.
Lifetime average on the 10 was 21. Mostly highway, but usually at 80 to 100 mph, so not too bad.
Hope the 13 on regular does as well as the 10 on premium.

I'm actually surprised with everyone's mpg base on highway and city.
I get higher mile on highway than city. The battery weight, weights down the car so much while driving in the city, so much push is required.
I have a question, did anyone experience when ECO mode is on, there's a delay of thrust unless you press the paddle all the way down to get full thrust. does anyone experience this?

Actually I notice same with mpg. Locally 28-29 mpg but 32-33on highway. I'm good with that. Eco mode I'm used to but my wife mentioned the lack of power first time she drove etc. normal I'm told . Helps minimize mpg reduction etc. I keep in Eco.
Now this is for 450h. I notice this is 350 forum. Although Kitiz thinks its the 450h in his/her response to lartsai comment.

lartsai, this mileage thread is for the 450h.
In addition, how do i know if I have a AWD or not? I know that's a stupid question but i bought the car in Taiwan and they only sell fully loaded or nothing loaded.
