Certainly NOT been our experience. Our Pilot has averaged over 22 mpg,
it rides smother & as quiet as any car I've ever owned / driven (except
with the windows open, the rumble noise is amazingly annoying) and its
four wheel drive / stability control system makes for a secure drive in
rain & snow storms. Our next vehicle will likely be a smaller, more
fuel efficient car, but we've been VERY pleased with this vehicle.
We'll probably never use the third row seat, but the head room,
internal space & driving comfort is just not available in that (or a
lower) priced vehicle.

Russia didn't invade Georgia for their oil so much as they want to
prevent competing natural gas pipelines from being b built through
Georgia..
