MPG in Highway/City/Combined

Code:

Package		FE		LX		EX		Touring
16” wheels	52/49/50	51/46/49	51/46/49	-
18” wheels	-		-		46/40/43	46/40/43
Curb weight	3106		3199		3199		3287
Roof rails	No		Yes		Yes		Yes

Look at that FE drop from the 16->18" wheels!

The difference between the FE and LX seems to be about 100 lbs in weight, and roof rails.
