Fuel economy for the Passport is actually WORSE than that of the Pilot. AWD ratings are 19/24. Very disappointing. I imagine the culprit is either increased height/air resistance, the 20″ wheels or perhaps a different final drive ratio [numerically higher] for better towing but worse gas mileage. With six less inches of body and no third row seat, one would think the Passport weighs less than the Pilot. I had assumed the Passport would be one or two mpg better than the Pilot, not the converse. So much for this vehicle splitting the difference between the CRV and Pilot.
