You're right. Most midsized SUVs get mid to low teens in pure city driving.Our Pilot gets 13-15 mpg in pure city driving and it is slightly better than average mpg wise. Granted it has a bit more interior room than most midsized SUVs, but no way would it ever approach 20 mpg city!It does get a decent 22-24 mpg in pure interstate(65-70 miles per hour) driving-still that is 3-4 mpg less than the HH.
Luck,
