Re: Consumer Reports reviews small SUVs: Liberty, Sorento, Outlander, Rogue, Forester

You continue to say the Pilot gets among the worst fuel economy of midsize SUVs, while it is among the best even by EPA testing.

Furthermore, the EPA numbers you're providing here don't correlate to the cars CR tested.

2009 Subaru Forester X:
20/26, 22 (CR mileage: 22)

2009 Subaru Forester XT (turbo):
19/24, 21 (CR mileage: 20)

2008 Honda CR-V AWD:
20/26, 22 (CR mileage: 21)

2008 Mitsubishi Outlander 4-cylinder AWD:
20/25, 22 (CR mileage: 22)

2008 Mitsubishi Outlander V6 AWD:
17/24, 20 (CR mileage: 19)

2008 Toyota RAV4 4-cylinder AWD:
20/25, 22 (CR mileage: 23)

2008 Toyota RAV4 V6 AWD:
19/26, 21 (CR mileage: 22)

2008 Saturn VUE XR 3.6 AWD:
16/22, 18 (CR mileage: 17)


In each case, the CR number is within 1 mpg of the EPA, and by either standard, the Vue's is easily the lowest.
