Amazed that 28-29 MPG would be considered good MPG. There have been 40 MPG wagons (Prius v for example) though not with the high ground clearance form factor of the SUVs. I'm interested in the Honda and the Toyota hybrid SUV versions that should be out before the end of the year. And of course, I'll try to restrain myself and let other people's buying experiences reach the forums and inform me.
