That is too low. My wife mostly drives our '07 EX 2WD in the hilly areas of Palos Verdes and gets 19-21 MPG. Around town on flat terrain we get 22-23 MPG and on long trips we average 29-30 MPG.
Your mileage is probably low enough to warrant a visit to the dealer. Could be something as simple as a clogged air filter or maybe brakes need adjustment.

I am really getting hammered buying gas lately. Getting around 25MPG consistantly on my 2008 EX-L, 80% highway. Otherwise love the car, but if they come out with a hybrid CRV, I am going to check it out. Spending over 100. a week on gas, my car alone. Don't even want to talk about my wife's Pilot!

If you slow down to 60 MPH, you might get 30 MPG.

if you are getting 25mpg and you are in a SUV, then you are doing pretty good. Quit complaining. Our neighbor is getting 21 mpg in her escape cause she's a lead foot. It 's all about how fast you drive. My husband slowed down in his Pilot and is getting 22 mpg average. Even though its a bigger engine, the RPM's are much lower. Hook up a ScanGauge to it and it will help you improve your MPG's, it did for us. google Scangauge, pay the $ 150 and you will see results.

Edna,
 
I am not complaining, thought that what this site was for, to discuss this vehicle. Everyone knows going slower gets better mileage. Car does not need a scan gage, computer tells you what your getting as you drive.

Yahoo says off by 1 mile on the highway.

Anyways, I was thinking the same thing as you regarding getting 2wd or 4wd. I live in an area with no snow, but the 4wd should provide additional safety on rainy days. Two friends told me to get the 4wd drive without a doubt because that is the reason for getting a crossover...to use your car's FULL potential. In addition, think of the resale value. If you plan to keep this car for more then 5 + years, get a vehicle that will keep you happy for a long time.

I agree!
 
Most of the money spent up front for the AWD will be recovered at resale time.
 
Mileage depends more on driving techniques than whether or not there is a diffreintial in the back.

Sorry about that, my text didn't come across very politely. What I was trying to allude to was that it is an SUV, and we should expect MPG between 20 and 28 per the sticker. If we wanted better MPG, we all would have purchased something else. With regard to the Scangauge, there are other settings that help while driving. One of the settings is LOD (load on demand). Easy to Google to learn about it.

Poor Fuel Economy by wisegirl

I purchased a 2004 EXL in Feb/08 expecting it to get MUCH better fuel economy than our '03 Pilot EXL - but that has not been the case. In the winter (Ontario) my CRV was using nearly 17 litres/100km. Now in warm weather with no a/c running, I gave a test to both vehicles for a week driving to/from work which is about 8 minutes from home. Results? CRV used 12 litres/100km, Pilot used 13 litres/100 kms. Any thoughts? We've had it checked out and nothing is "wrong" - but according to Honda stat's - it is using way too much gas. Both vehicles are automatic and we bought the CRV to save money on gas by not driving the Pilot as much but at this rate, we should be both driving Pilots! Help??!!
