I want to thank everyone for their comments on my question re Consumer Reports mileage estimate for HAH. Its encouraging to know that many persons are experiencing overall figures exceeding 30 mpg.

I would still be somewhat concerned, however, if the improvement in mileage over the normal V6 could only be achieved by using a totally different driving style. There should be a significant improvement if both vehicles are driven simultaneously over a certain route in the same manner. Presumably the EPA testing tries to simulate this as would Consumer Reports (as far as possible). Again, I would be interested to know if anyone has carried out such a "real world" test.
