^Ouch, bro. 19 mpg? Do a basic tune up. Check spark plugs and spark plug wires. Replace plugs with NGK's, use good quality spark plug wires too.

I just Got my 2012 HF and I'M averaging 41.8 MPH cruise control set @65 with ECON on.
only 1050 miles on it and should get better.

We've got a 2012 LX with similar mileage and on a recent trip at comparable speed with CC we got over 44MPG! Regardless, what's the difference between an LX and a HF. All I can determine from the brochure is that it has a spoiler. What else is there?

the HF is almost the same as the ex but no sunroof or HFL.

Using 87 octane Shell gas whenever I can find it. Do not use Walmart (Murphy) gas, it isn't top tier as recommended by Honda.
