That's my quandary.

My computer mileage has been extremely accurate ... and extremely disappointing! Right after the miserable dealership experience, the fuel mileage is the biggest letdown. Quick? Check! Fun-to-drive? Check! Efficient? Nope!
To be fair, there are plenty of forum members who are satisfied with their mileage. Obviously, I am not one of them. I'm starting to wish I had waited for the Q5 TDI or GLK diesel. The CX-5 diesel, when/if it comes to the US, should be an impressive value if you can live without some of the extras.
