Replying to: tidester (Jan 26, 2009 11:15 am) You seem very sure of that and are most likely right.   I just makes more sense to me that if a tire 6" wide has a given resistance, then a tire identical, but wider, would have an increased resistance. Other than the fact that it is heavier and so forth. Somewhat, but to a lesser degree, like a car moving through the air. The larger frontal area has more resistance.   Oh well !   Thanks, Kip

Leased 09 pilot, have the car 6 weeks, getting 8.9 - 10.1 mpg. Drove city and highway, 185 miles w 20 gallons, a few times. Spoke to dealer, they don't want to do a consumption test till 7500 miles. They also told me that if nothing on the dashboard is lighting up as a problem then theres nothing wrong. The dealers in brooklyn NY are horrible. I'm a very calm driver, use the heat normally and most of the time travel alone. I know MPG estimates are a bit off but not 60%. Does anyone have any info ?

Replying to: Azudi (Feb 18, 2009 12:28 pm) Seems really low. You can try to perform the idle learn routine. You might have a very tight motor and it needs to break in a bit, but 7500 seems like a long time to be living with 10 mpg. City driving in Brooklyn is different that city driving........well just about anywhere else.

Replying to: Azudi (Feb 18, 2009 12:28 pm) What were you driving before the Pilot? What MPG did it achieve under the same driving conditions? Replies to this message: Azudi (Feb 19, 2009 5:54 am) bigdadi118 (Feb 19, 2009 10:23 am)

Replying to: kipk (Feb 19, 2009 4:31 am) Still have a 96 Dodge Grand caravan, bigger vehicle, 135,000k. its been thru the mill and back, transmission issues, radiater problems.... It gets 17-19 city. It bothers me that the pilot is getting the same mpg as a cadillac escalade when the sticker boasts 17 city , 23 highway and I'm getting less than half.

Replying to: Azudi (Feb 19, 2009 5:54 am) Would it be possible your gas was stolen? Write the gas gauge - level each time.

Replying to: Azudi (Apr 11, 2009 5:07 pm) It is possible your computer readout is wrong. Fill up the tank, drive a hundred miles. Fill it up again and check the mileage manually.
