It's got a sport oriented CVT of course the fuel economy numbers go to the shitter...
That and the penalty of the heavier wheel/tire combos.
They're not allowed to test the cars in "ECON" mode (where available). They have to test the car with its default startup setting - or so I've been told.

The drop in fuel economy on the sports are obvious but the drop in the non sport are a little surprising. Think maybe it's just aerodynamics that are dropping the numbers? (Comparing to the Sedan)
Assuming weight isn't the issue, I don't see any other reason for the decline. Seems to only impact hwy mpg which would suggest drag.

Under $20k for the LX 6mt is a lot of car for the money. Is there anything else different between the LX and Sport other than the wheels, exhaust, and slight hp increase?

There may be some interior touches as well, such as leather wrapped steering wheel and slightly more aggressive seat bolsters. Look to the relationship between the Accord LX/Accord Sport for more clues.

So if I contact a dealer now and they have them in back waiting for Monday. Do you think they will let me see it?
