I just got a 2012 SE (4 Cyl.) and its gas mileage is awful 16MPG, this is a shame and I feel so stupid for buying a HONDA, I could have bought a BMW 5 Series with V6 engine and still get better MPG.

Hmmm...I'm getting almost 22 just around town driving, almost zero on the fwy, and when I do take a trip down to the bay, i'm getting 30+, I would really think the v6's would be getting better than they are???

To the best of my knowledge, BMW has never-ever built a V6 engine; certainly not in modern times.

On my 2012 Accord Coupe V6 with 6500 miles I am averaging around 24-25mpg. My travel is about 85-90% highway so they may be why my results are higher than others.
