I wish some Lexus engineer would shed some light on this. Another thing I've wondered about is the rarity of seeing the rear wheels driven. Maybe I've been driving too conservatively? (My white-knuckled passengers would beg to differ!)
 
On the bright, and surprising, side: I just turned 2000 miles, and my mpg on this latest tank (180 miles into it) has risen to 25.5 mpg. Coincidentally, I saw something this morning I'd never seen, the battery bars briefly stacked up into the green. The pull to the right is still there; though I'm used to it, and keeping my left hand on the wheel at all times, I will get it rechecked until someone fixes it.

"The actual city mpg for the more fuel efficient 6 cyl midsized SUV's"
 
OK, since you mentioned "mid sized Korean", that gives license to mention the I4 CR-V, about 22 in town and 27 Highway. Not the same luxury class or quite as large, but close. Definitely more transportation oriented than lux, but if you want to talk MPG for mid-sized SUVs...

Ha,HA-that is why I said 6 cyl by phoebeisis

Hey,stevedebi,that is why I said 6cyl,to exclude the 4CYL Highlander and the CRV-2 vehicles that might come close to the HH in MPG-and are close in size.I had forgotten that one of the Korean ones comes with a 4 cyl and a 6 cyl-both of which give poor MPG.I left the door ope!!Ha,Ha.Charlie
PS There is a big online Honda Discounter in San Antonio-GUNN (bought Pilot there )who offers pretty good prices.They only come about $400 off MSRP on the CRV,so they must be selling very well-no surprise.Base model ~$20200 and change.They offer the Hybrid Accord for $27600 and the Hybrid Civic for $19600.My impression is the the H Accord isn't a big seller,but the Civic is.

As I almost got the Lexus H and have beeen following this discussion, I thought I would post the follow up to my previous posts...Have a bmw sttionwagon 530xi...As reported get around eighteen and a half for the city, above thirty for mountain roads around forty to fifty mph, and now twenty six point one for a two hundred fifty mile trip at around eighty mph--averaged in the mid seventies according to the trip computer....Everything above seventy mph costs more and I watched the mpg slowly drop ...This was a normal trip, higest ninety mph for a brief stretch, and just barely below eighty if traffic permited...The temperature was around ninety degrees so the a/c was on, and set to a comfortable degree as the dials don`t say what degree it is set at ..Sort of strange...Tony

I wonder how many police forces in the USA can afford that kind of luxury for their troops.
