Replying to: blufz1 (Jul 18, 2007 10:21 pm) I imagine you were saying it is not safe to go 85 mph on the highway (your note said 45 mph). I know 85 mph is above the speed limit. We were traveling west through Nebraska on I-80 where the speed limit is 75 mph. We would not drive much over the speed limit if other cars were present. My wife had a heavy foot and took it up past 80 mph when the road was clear, dry and straight. I'll keep my posts going after every tank I fill.

I will continue to post my MPG records and MPG theories for my new 2WD PILOT. My first record (Summer 2007) is at the top of this post and the latest record will be on the bottom of this post. - 22 MPG, 90% highway  65 mph and moderate rolling terrain, fully loaded, 100% AC, dry conditions, MI, WI, MN - 17.6 MPG, 100% city, 0-50 mph, flat terrain, half loaded, 100% AC, dry conditions, MN - 18.5 MPG, 100% highway 80 mph, moderate terrain, fully loaded, 100% AC, dry conditions, MN, IA - 20.5 MPG, 100% highway, 85 mph, flat terrain, fully loaded, 100% AC, dry conditions, NE The best highway MPG might be produced from 60-70 MPH. Increasing to 80-85 seems to drop fuel efficiency. My goal is to learn to drive this car to obtain its RATED MPG in city and highway. - 20.6 MPG, 90% flat highway 80 MPH then 10 % slowly up 2000' in elevation, fully loaded, 100% AC, dry conditions, CO - 22.2 MPG, 90% flat highway 70 MPH and 10 % slowly down 2000' in elevation, fully loaded, 100% AC, dry conditions, CO - 21.4 MPG, 100% flat highway 84 MPH, fully loaded, 100% AC, dry conditions, CO, NE - 21.0 MPG, 100% highway medium terrain 82 MPH, fully loaded, 100% AC, dry conditions, NE, IA - 22.2 MPG, 100 % highway medium terrain 78 MPH, fully loaded, 100% AC, dry conditions, IA, MN I'll keep you posted.

Just passed 2038 miles on my new Pilot. Average mileage - 19.168. Worst tank 15.58. Best tank - 24.052 ( yesterday and today South Carolina to Jupiter FL on I-95, 433 miles, all freeway except about 10 miles, 18.003 gallons. ECO light stays on 99 % of time with cruise set at 75, which is what I did this trip. Past trips in '91 Legend Coupe usually driven at 85, so this was also an experiment in how well I could deal with lots more people passing me ! I found on earlier short flat NC freeway "tests" that 80 in the Pilot causes the ECO light to constantly switch on / off - just takes all cylinders for that extra speed - and 85 was 6 cylinders only. Driver plus light luggage only. Interestingly, my elapsed trip time was just as good as my 85 MPH trips in the Legend - I noticed that I could hold speed better and not have to back off for traffic nearly as much - there's a lesson in there somewhere. Out side air temp mid 80's to high 90's - I expect that mileage would improve in the winter. Did miss the terrific seat in the Legend ! |

It seems most of the posts are from owners of 2wd Pilots are all the owners of the AWD ashamed to list there mileage. My 2007 AWD has about 2250 miles on it and gets about 11-12 in the city and 13-14 on the hghway,does anyone get better mileage

| I have a 2007 AWD EX-L with about 1800 miles. I am extremely disappointed with the MPG. I average 13.5 MPG. I'm hoping that I'm still in the "break-in" phase and it will get better. However, I think 1800 miles is well beyond the break-in phase. | |
It has passed the break in period won't get any better brought mine in to Honda dealer to do a test they say I'm getting 20 mpg called up Honda's main office they said bring it back to dealer and do the test with them can't wait
