Well, of course. The same engine can't push ~1,000lbs more, AWD, and a higher drag as efficiently as it can a rear drive E46. My wife has driven an E46 since our PDC in '02. They're completely different cars that have zero business being compared- especially WRT gas mileage.

A 4cyl Honda gets better highway mileage than my 1975 2002. As I read on another forum: "In other news, water is wet."
