21.31
During the first month, I made a few trips out of state to visit family, so my driving style during that time would have varied. All in all, I'm pretty satisfied with the mileage I'm getting now. If it drops to 19 again in the winter like I expect it to, I'll be whining...

Anyway, I noticed something weird about the RDX is that after each refill, I'll see the average mileage indicator going bonkers. It can spike as high with ridiculous number of 29.5 miles. Then the numbers would go down to around 24 and hover around there to 27. I know damn well a RDX can't be that good on gas and I just wonder if you or anybody else out there had ever experienced this phenomena?

Yeah...I'd expect that to happen. I've seen mine go 40+ before settling back down. Think about it - it's taking periodic readings, and averaging the values. Depending on your driving, with only a few data points, the averages will be pretty meaningless. For example, suppose you were going down a LONG hill, stopped for gas on that hill, and then continued down the hill. I'll bet by the time you got to the bottom, the average would be in the 50mpg or higher range...
