HA! We were reading the best mileage thread and some of the claims are completely unbelieveable!
We have A LOT of unnecessary accessories on ours that certainly contributes to our poor mileage (19-20mpg) but when we didnt have it decked out with accessories we cant recall EVER GETTING OVER 22MPG.
Quite frankly we think that those people claiming upper 20's are either doing serious drugs or what we call Honda Syndrome.
We've noticed in past that Honda owners are extremely loyal but also have a mindset that their car is the best in the UNIVERSE and try to PROVE it frequently by outright lying! Whatever you bought or can afford is basicly the Best despite reason.
Just the other day we ran into a guy who has a custom license plate "NOTA SUV" on his element.
We of course inquired and he went into some longwinded story about cafe standards and his excellent mileage, Yada Yada Yada. We chatted about his other vehicles, several of which we own/owned and he refused to in ANY way admit their fuel or otherwise superiority over his element.
We confirmed our suspicion that he indeed suffered from Honda Syndrome when he maintained that the element was the best off road vehicle ever made and not only could go anywhere a Jeep Wrangler could but was actually FAR Superior offroad. Is there a looney bird smiley?
