Any advantage of getting AWD over FWD in a city like Atlanta?

In my 2014 FWD I could hit up to 37 mpg on highway runs easily up until I had the trans swapped out at 32k miles, then I couldn't get past 32/33 highway. Still don't know if it was due to age or the trans swap. All around average for me was 30ish. My AWD I'm averaging around 27/28 and I'm at 1500 miles, haven't taken it on a trip yet but I expect to do slightly better. I'm getting as good as I was expecting and am quite pleased with my choice of AWD this time around.

Must be a mistake, what do you think you are driving, a CR-V?

Sorry, about the joke. What is your average speed? That is what I find correlates with MPG. With an average of 29 MPH, what I get driving around suburbia, I get about 26-27 MPG.

On this trip I'd guess it was around that. High 20s, a little low 30s.

Congrats! Beautiful car. We were down to Machine Grey and Sonic Silver and went the silver route due to being lazy in upkeep. Love Machine Grey!

Excellent color. I call it "jdm gray", as they are all the same. Really like that color.

Yep. No Titanium for 17. Very close. Co-worker has a 16 Titanium.

Interesting. US doesn't get Titanium Flash? Canada does. But we don't get Eternal Blue... Would've been nice to get the eternal blue.

The average income of a CX5 GT buyer is $93,000. You expect us to live in the ghetto?

Let me rephrase....Only in my opinion.

I love their Deep Blue and the ol' Sky Blue ones.
