Honda Element Real Gas Mileage: Cons

2011 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4

Sure wish I could get 30 MPG in this thing instead of 20 (though I have gotten 26 on long trips as long as I don't let my wife drive) see full Honda Element review
2005 4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed manual AWD
This is my only major gripe with the vehicle... I seem to get a consistent 22mpg, whether it is city driving, long flat highways, or mountains. If I go out of my way to drive conservatively, or use a medium-to-heavy foot with the aid conditioner, the difference is completely negligible... it's pretty much always 22mpg. see full Honda Element review

20 mpg city, 24 mpg hiway, low for such a small, lightweight car. see full Honda Element review

It stinks! The EX is a bit heavy which drags the MPG to 21/25. see full Honda Element review
