That's a good question...
To add to this extremely old thread, in the 1 day of my driving my HX, I have averaged 10% better then my Corolla, and I didn't even try very hard. There was really bad traffic going to work so I had to take an alternative route which consisted of much, much more stopping and going (stop lights so dead stop back up to cruising speed) uphill starts, lots of idling and I still managed 40mpg on UG (was 40.1 when I got to work) and I'm sure it was actually more because I was in L/B for a little while too. Under similar conditions, I probably would have gotten about 32-34mpg out of my Corolla.
