So who's right? Forbes, whose SOURCE is being cited as the IIHS, or, the IIHS?

DOH! I was looking exclusively at the frontal-offset results!!!!
Sorry about that.
Do we have a link to the IIHS overall results (the ones Forbes is citing)? Because I don't see them on their site......

Get rid of the automatic, 4wd, and V6 and learn to shift at the correct time and use momentum. That's where the MPGs are.
I studied this vehicle for work extensively with all the powertrain configurations and unless it is the hybrid or the 4cyl/manual 2wd driven well - you won't get the MPGs.
The hybrid will get the best MPG improvement over the regular model in city driving.
It is physics: mechanical losses (equipment) + momentum in a brick shaped vehicle (driver).

That is what it is all about... for ANY vehicle.

I have a 2009 2.5liter 4-wheel drive with the 6 speed automatic. It's a company car, and I treat it roughly. I get 26-27 mpg on the highway averaging about 80 mph. The lowest I've gotten is 23.5 mpg, which included 25 miles of off-roading and about 1/4 of the total tank in town. I'm really surprised at it's economy.
I am suspicious of this 6-speed lasting a LONG time, though...
