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)

Replying to: kipk (Nov 02, 2008 1:01 am) I know diesel costs more but it used to be the easiest to produce by the gas company(had friends in the petroleum industry) . I have generally chalked it up to that business use diesel and they are easier to pay higher prices when they can pass the cost on to us.
#919 of 981 2500 mile trip by scottgbwi Nov 09, 2008 (7:53 am)
Just finished a trip that was about 2500 miles total. Gauges show avg speed at 61 mph, 19.1 MGP. In about 90% of the miles were probably were between 70 & 80 MPH. The rest was city driving. I could have easily gotten over 20 mpg if I wanted to drive slower.
