We have an '08 VP with just over 6,000 miles on it and we are somewhat pleased with the gas mileage. It is sitting right at roughly 15 city and 20 highway. Our commutes are usually only 10 to 20 miles a day in the city. When we do take it on a road trip it will be on flat I-80 for about 400 miles round trip. I recently got a Scangauge as a present and have been trying to get it calibrated correctly. Then I will be able to post better measures than the typical fill up, document mileage, drive, fill up, document mileage, and repeat. Although that is a good measure, it is by no means perfect. I was afraid at first from the high shift points as well. I have found that "dealing" with it and lightening my foot before shifting has helped. I don't like to have to deal with a new car feature, but I've gotten used to it. I do love the vehicle and it is serving us well. Good luck everyone! |

| I was reluctant to check fuel mileage on my recently purchased 2008 Pilot 2wd EX-L for the first tank, especially considering the uncertainty of how full the tank was when leaving the dealership. I drove 375.5 miles on 18.65 gallons, achieving just over 20.1 mpg on about a 40/60 city/hwy combination. I am very pleased with this. Also, I filled the tank very full this evening, likely much more full than the tank was when I left the dealership. I look forward to many years of driving my Pilot and will post an update when it is broken in a little more. | |

a recent trip of about 740 miles with the following factors: - minimum cruising speed of 75 mph but usually about 80 mph and max burst of about 90 mph - six passengers with total weight of about 850 lbs plus week end baggages and stuff full cooler - cold tire pressure at 36 psi - A/C on 100% of the way at about 3/4 of max temp & medium blower result: 22 mpg

Have a little over 5k miles on my Pilot. With 80% city and 20% highway driving the my Pilot is averaging 18MPG. This includes a lot of idle time waiting in a carpool line. So far very pleased given the size of the car, function, and utility.

| Just completed a trip from Pittsburgh to Niagara Falls. With cruising speed of 75 MPH via cruise control and a moderate cargo load of baggage, two adults, and one infant we ran around 19 MPG. | |

Replying to: renew2 (Oct 21, 2008 9:48 am) I'm not sure if the ECO mode saves much fuel. I'm wondering if the constant kicking in and out of ECO mode in hilly country will adversely affect engine reliability. |

About 19.6 MPG on trip from WI to NC. Average speed over 70 MPH.

Traveling 70-80 1st tank 25mpg 2nd tank 21mpg. very pleased. Mileage wasn't as good going back but only by 1-2 mpg less. Trip back had more traffic and rain. While there found out my friend that drives a 3/4 ton diesel gets 20 mpg. If a large truck can get that mileage it would be interesting to see what a family sedan could get. Americans need to embrace that diesel is a better solution than spending all the R&D for hybrid's.
