#19 of 85 Re: Does mpg increase with warm or cold weather. [55535432] by aspesisteve Apr 11, 2006 (10:46 am)
Replying to: 55535432 (Apr 07, 2006 11:37 pm) gas prices in CA have topped $3.00 for premium - fortunately the Ridgeline takes regular unleaded.   my F150 with it's 35 gallon tank will soon cost me $100 to fill up. gulp

Replying to: muggz (Jan 16, 2006 4:17 pm) After six months and 5500 miles: Average 18.9 local, 21+ highway, 12.7 pulling my pontoon boat or camper. Just finished a 750 mile round trip to Atlanta at 5 mph above the speed limits (65 to 80 mph) and got 22.7. Keep tire pressures up, install a K&N Air Filter.
#21 of 85 Low Mileage by vijim Apr 30, 2006 (7:36 pm)
I am concerned that I only get 13 MPG driving around St Croix. On my 4x4 Ford Ranger I got 18 MPG doing the same driving. I expected more.   Is there any adjustment the dealer can make ?     Replies to this message: gearhead1 (May 15, 2006 7:38 pm) vijim (May 15, 2006 8:51 pm) gearhead1 (May 16, 2006 12:14 am)

Replying to: vijim (Apr 30, 2006 7:36 pm) I've been experimenting a bit with the Ridgeline. Typically I get around 18 mpg. Lately I've been keeping the rpms around 1900 rpms cruising on the highway which puts your speed around 67 mph. This has increased my mileage to 20.3 mpg including highway and city driving. I don't have stop and go traffic jams in my area with extended idleing. Cruising at 75 - 80 mph will eat the gas. If this were the good old days with the mandated 55mph, I think the RL would be cruising below 1500 rpm, probably getting maybe 22mpg, just guessing. keeping it under 2,000 rpms definitly made a difference.   Traveling at 67 mph is also more enjoyable allowing the use of cruise and just listening to XM radio. Slow down and enjoy life. You'll save a few bucks and maybe lower your stress level as well. Replies to this message: vijim (May 15, 2006 8:51 pm) gearhead1 (May 16, 2006 12:14 am)

Replying to: gearhead1 (May 15, 2006 7:38 pm) I guess i get the prize for the least effecient Ridgeline. Where I live on an Island 23 miles long and really crumby roads the fastest I travel is maybe 40 mph. Occasional creep up to 50 for a few minutes, but a lot of 15 to 30 mph on the local dirt roads. Just a bad combination I guess. The more conventional trucks in my family Ranger and G Cherokee get 18 mph on the same terrain. Replies to this message: gearhead1 (May 16, 2006 12:14 am)

Replying to: vijim (May 15, 2006 8:51 pm) Could also have something to do with the way you accelerate initially. Your mileage may also improve as the engine breaks in. I have over 12,000 miles on the RL. I think my initial fill ups were around 15-16 mpg.
#25 of 85 Edmunds long term RL test - gas mileage by scooter4 Jun 14, 2006 (7:42 pm)
It seems that people posting to this thread are getting much better mileage, in general, than the Edmunds staff did. Why is there so much of a discrepancy?   From road test: Current Odometer: 806 Best Fuel Economy: 15.9 mpg Worst Fuel Economy: 13.7 mpg Average Fuel Economy (over the life of the vehicle): 14.7 mpg Replies to this message: thegraduate (Jan 18, 2007 3:30 pm) bolivar (Jan 19, 2007 1:24 am)
#26 of 85 Mileage by guy21 Jun 15, 2006 (3:26 am)
On a recent 1,200 mile vacation consisting of city and two lane country driving, our mileage ranged as follows:   Best - 23 mpg Worst - 18 mpg Average - 21 mpg   Current odometer - 5,147 miles
#27 of 85 What is your typical mileage range on this beast? by wrascal Aug 19, 2006 (5:44 pm)
If I can't go the week without filling it up, then I need to stop looking at these things. I typically go 400 miles/week. I was looking at the CRV, but no way will it do this between fillups. I allready have a Pilot, so thats also out. I want the cargo area and range. Thanks, Fox.
#28 of 85 Milage in South by bolivar Aug 19, 2006 (7:44 pm)
Just drove across 4 states and back 2,000 miles, 2 or 3 people. During day and into early night, weather was extremely hot. A/C set to 73/74degrees, 'trunk' was crammed full of clothes.   At almost 80mph, it gave 17.8mpg. At about 70-75mph, it gave as high as 19.8.   I think if you dropped it down to 65, it might return the sticker of 21mpg.   6,000 miles now. This was on original Honda oil.
