Replying to: KarenS (May 31, 2005 7:26 am) We have a 2005 Pilot EX. Only 1400 miles right now, and getting 17-18 MPG with about 50% highway driving. Hoping to get EPA mileage eventually.

#9 of 981 E85, Hybrid Pilot by meyervilla Jun 15, 2005 (10:37 am)
Does anyone know when Honda will modify their V6 to run on E85? What about a Pilot Hybrid? Replies to this message: soundinspirit (Jun 21, 2008 4:29 pm)

Replying to: klanger (Jun 10, 2005 4:28 pm) You will be pleasantly surprised to get close to EPA numbers after 5000 miles. We initially got 15 city and 21 highway when new. Now it is 17 city and 22 highway. This SUV is one of the few that gets close to what it says. Use to own a 2001 Ford Escape 4WD V6 that only got 14 city and 22 highway and it was suppose to get 18/23 . And that Escape weighed 800 pounds less.

Replying to: durability05 (Jun 19, 2005 5:52 pm) I have a 2005 EX-L that we got in December. It has 8000 miles on it now. I get 16-17 MPG city, 20-22 MPG highway.

Replying to: durability05 (Jun 19, 2005 5:52 pm) My 2005 Pilot has 5500 miles. I get 17-19 in mixed driving, haven't done any straight highway yet.   I also own a 2002 Tribute V6, which gets about EPA numbers. 18-19 mixed driving, 22-24 straight highway.

Replying to: normkol (Jul 03, 2005 5:39 am) The Pilot mix driving I can get 17-18, the straightway , I got anywhere from 23 mpg on an easy 500 mile drive at 70 mph, however a 75-80 mph desert run only got me 20 mpg highway. I use to own a 2001 Ford Escape V6 4wd, that thing only got 14-15 mix driving and 22 highway, to sum it up the Pilot has excellent mpg numbers for a midsize SUV, we took it to the mall today for shopping, and it was excellent, entirely in its intended purpose a Station Wagon, or shall we say a Cross-over. Definetely not an SUV.
#14 of 981 Gas Mileage on an 05 by sportymonk Jul 15, 2005 (8:35 am)
Filled up first time at 255 miles. Next 1250 miles were almost pure interstate at 70 to 75 mph as we left on vacation with 300 miles on the odometer (Not the original plan but thats the way things worked out). tire pressure was 33.5 - 34. I keep it a pound of so higher so that if I loose a little air over the course of time, I wouldn't be underinflated.   578 miles = 21.62 mpg   937 = 20.93 mpg (Dropped here as lead foot Bodine, whoops, excuse me, my lovely wife who keeps flow with the traffic was driving.)   1292 = 21.44 mpg   1525 = 23.28 Through with vacation(?)   1843 = 19.28 Some city and some hwy   2150 = 19.28. Same   The problem with measuring city driving is that other than the EPA defined city driving, it is too variable. Different lights (especially sensored ones) have different intervals of green and red. Traffic at 5:30 in downtown Atlanta is dramatically different from traffic at 20:30 AM even though it is the same route. Replies to this message: kipk (Apr 22, 2008 7:34 am)
#15 of 981 05 EX L under 2K miles by biscuit1941 Jul 23, 2005 (4:01 pm)
Just took a quick trip and measured MPG first time.   185 mile trip, 40 miles of interstate and the rest twisty mountain driving (the kind you brake, accelerate, up, down round and round).   20.5! I thought that was great all things considered.
