I find it hard to believe that the xB with more weight and somewhat questionable aerodynamics gets a gallon more per gallon than the xA...and also the fact that I consistently get 38-40 mpg and that is 80% in town,a few state routes and hardly no highway.

That just goes to show that the test is not completely accurate.
