Replying to: tornadog (Aug 03, 2009 4:26 am) I get closer to 12 MPG's in the city in my Touring, so be happy with your 15+

Replying to: tornadog (Aug 03, 2009 4:26 am) Isn't 15 the EPA City figure?   If the city driving involves lots of traffic and traffic lights, you are doing good to get 15 MPG.

Replying to: tornadog (Aug 03, 2009 4:26 am) Don't worry about the 120 miles. It could have been a trade with another local dealer who needed a different trim for a customer.   15 mpg seems a bit low, but it might improve with more miles. My mileage kept improving until I had 15,000 miles.

Replying to: justaveragejoe (Aug 03, 2009 11:57 am) Joe,   Just an update on the Scan Gauge vs odometer, etc..   From the git go I had to tell the SG that the Pilot is traveling a bit faster (and farther) than it's default. That is a permenant setting until the driver changes it.   With that setting the TANK MPG, miles driven, fuel used, and so forth agree with hand calculations at the pump. Therefore the instant and avg trip mpg are probably also real close.   Now when the speedometer needle is sitting on 50 mph, the gauge says 52 mph.   Got a Garmin 265WT GPS a couple of weeks ago. It agrees with the SC on the speed.   Kip Replies to this message: justaveragejoe (Aug 04, 2009 7:47 am) thegraduate (Aug 04, 2009 2:12 pm) kipk (Aug 04, 2009 11:45 pm)

Replying to: kipk (Aug 04, 2009 3:57 am) I wouldn't think the speedometer would be off that much. Do you have bigger tires?   I haven't checked the Pilot. I used to check them by watching the milepost markers and timing them at 60 mph. We used the neighbor's GPS in the Odyssey the other weekend. That speedo was accurate.

Replying to: justaveragejoe (Aug 04, 2009 7:47 am) While my '06 Accord is dead-on, even with its new tires, my girlfriend's '07 Santa Fe GLS (with orig tires) reads about 2 mph faster than actual, based on her Garmin 255.   It is allowable (legally, anyway) for the odometer to be off by as much as 5% (or 3 MPH either direction at 60MPH); I assume this would stand for the speedo too. Yea/Nay?   I don't own a Pilot, I typically just lurk and read here, but thought I'd comment.   Happy Hondaing!   TheGrad

Almost time to give back our 2007 Pilot EXL AWD, after nearly 3 years and more than 40,000 miles. We averaged 17.88mpg overall. Best (highway) was 22. Worst (city) was 14.   Looking forward to replacing it with something that will average 20+ mpg. Still need a considerable amount of space for passengers and cargo, but willing to give up 3rd row and down-size to a crossover, something bigger than the CRV though. Would like more comfort and luxury too. The new RX350 might fit the bill this time around. We shall see. Replies to this message: bigdadi118 (Aug 25, 2009 8:20 pm)

Replying to: go_orange (Aug 25, 2009 7:11 pm) RX350 is now made in Toronto, Canada.
#981 of 981 2007 Pilot EXL AWD - - 18mpg by go_orange Oct 23, 2009 (12:54 pm)
Averaged exactly 18 mpg after 3 years and 44,000 miles of a mix of city/highway. Very few long trips. Tended to get about 20mpg on those, with a best of 22. Worst case was about 14mpg in mostly local driving.   EPA for this vehicle was 17/22 at the time I got it and was subsequently adjusted to 15/20. The 15/20 is consistent with my personal experience.
