93. A Pilot with the same upgrades would probably see similar improvement,
if they implement them. The frontal areas, drag coefficients, and weight are pretty similar.

Transitioning to direct-injection would probably bump up the mileage by 10% or so, while at the same time increasing horsepower. I'm pretty sure they'll go that route soon, if they haven't already. I know GM is moving toward direct-injection as well.
