Look at this:
The Accord EX (with leather) 4 cylinder/5 speed gets 26 city/34 highway - on 87 octane, REGULAR UNLEADED! (That's pretty damn good.):

The TSX manages just 21/29 (on PREMIUM)!!!!!!!!!
And the Accord is just 183 pounds lighter and doesn't have the benefit of the extra gear!
The difference in DRIVE WHEEL HP between the two cars is a mere 30 HP. So the drive wheel HP: vehicle weight ratio isn't much different.
