2011 ACURA MDX MPG - Real life fuel efficiency after 150,000 miles

The published MDX MPG has a rating of 16 MPG in the City and 21 MPG.  What is real life fuel efficiency after 150,000 miles?

Here are some MPG data with various driving conditions:

1. Lots of stop and go urban driving.  (16 MPG)

2. Going through hills, up and down at 75-80 mph (16 MPG); at 70 MPH improves efficiency (18 MPG)

3. Urban mix driving, 50% highway, 50% stop-n-go driving achieves 17 MPG

4. Excessive highway speed, 80 MPH or with impeding traffic flow. (18 MPG)

5.  Urban highway speed at 65-75 mph; heavy traffic flow, lots of speed changes (20 MPG)

6. Constant "relaxed" flat highway speed at 75 mph; light traffic flow  (22 MPG)

7. Constant "relaxed" flat highway speed at 65-70 mph; without heavy traffic flow  (24 MPG)

We believe black live matter, all lives matter.

Do you support the Back Live Matter? 

Do you support all (black) live matter movement.

Do we, media, politician CARE  to make a distinction between Black Live Matte (organization) and black live matter (cause)?
