#908 of 981 2008 Honda Pilot First Tank MPG by txag2000_2002 Sep 09, 2008 (5:25 pm)
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.

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. Replies to this message: zwolfe (Oct 30, 2008 11:37 am)
#912 of 981 Highway Mileage on 09 Touring by poodog13 Oct 21, 2008 (9:54 am)
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) My 2007 Pilot LX 2WD averages 20 MPG. The low for city driving is around 18 MPG. The best I have ever gotten in 24K miles is 23 MPG. This was driving a relatively flat rural road at 55mph.   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.

#915 of 981 07 2wd exl Kentucky to Florida and back mpg by jett1 Oct 31, 2008 (12:26 pm)
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.

Replying to: jett1 (Oct 31, 2008 12:26 pm) It is the lawmakers that do not embrace diesel. Even with the new ultra clean diesels lawmakers are still fearful. In my area, reg. unleaded is about $2.60 and diesel is $3.39 The mileage you save is negated by the extra cost from taxes (at least in California) Replies to this message: kipk (Nov 02, 2008 1:01 am) jett1 (Nov 02, 2008 9:56 am)

Replying to: mikevp (Nov 01, 2008 12:50 pm) Here in Georgia diesel has been about 70-90 cents higher than gas for a long time. I just don't understand why. Must be taxes. Kip Replies to this message: jett1 (Nov 02, 2008 9:56 am)
