You can catch the mpg for their test pilot at the 3:14 mark (14.7mpg); hopefully from extended idling during the shoot. If the RL2 is using the same 3.5L V6, we may want to reevaluate our expectations for improved efficiency. Then again, here's another recent video of the new pilot on a track where they appear to be getting 24.6, so that's encouraging.

Another video about the 2016 pilot, straight from the source. The Honda engineer goes into detail about the new features and logic behind them, though I'm not sold on his explanation for the push button shifter. With the discussed lack of real world gains by the 9 speed, I hope the 6 speed isn't completely locked into lower trim levels of the RL2.
