This site is productive for all participants if we dispense with the 'commentary' and stick to the subject matter."   Exactly my sentiments as well. Sorry if I went a bit "over the top". I try and use logic at all times. I really hate it when I let people get me going...   Apologies where needed... Replies to this message: phoebeisis (Jun 29, 2005 1:34 pm)

Replying to: stevedebi (Jun 29, 2005 12:05 pm) stevedebi,I do the same.Put my poison keyboard in motion waaay too quickly,I then go...maybe I should have been a little more restrained.  No kidding-the CR-V is about as good as it gets for a really handy sized people-thing hauler.(check CR they are practically sales people for it).I eyeballed it when I was Eyeballing the Pilot-Highlander.It failed the 2 greyhounds behind the second seat fit test.Now,since the mutts can command the entire back of the car,I'm eyeing it again(son won't travel with us anymore)   The Pilot is a roomy midsize.It gets very good HY mpg-better than EPA 22 at 73 mph).It gets miserable city mpg (13-15)-especially in humid New Orleans with AC blasting 9 months of the year.Of the 22000 miles-12300 have been trips-interstate-,so the average is 18mpg.(Well,I'm lying,we used a roof basket on the 1st 2 trips-16.5 mpg-terrible;the second two trips I jury rigged something to ride on the rea bumper-22.4mpg-huge difference)Thanks.(Didn't mean to come off so snooty-sarcastic-sorry about that)-Charlie
#54 of 417 27.9 mpg by nsxwes Jun 27, 2005 (6:40 pm)
I have seen an actual 27.9 mpg for a full tank of gas. A combination of city and highway with a lot of AC.   Wes

1)751- 25 AWD 2)765 30.7 257 AWD 3)777 26.4 4)794 24.6 5)795 27.8 320 2WD 6)805 27.9 7)833 24.8 48 8)842 25.5 HY 29 CITY 1000 MILES TOTAL 9)851 30.1 296 10)862 31.8 100 Might have missed some-the 1st number is the message-2nd is mpg -3rd is distance -then the drivetrain-awd and 2wd.Pretty good numbers-some calculated some dig,I think.  27.8 and 26.4 are the 5th and 6th numbers of 10 Of course these numbers are biased-maybe no one will report their 18 mpg tank.Maybe there aren't any 18 mpg fillups?I haven't noticed any shrinking violets here;I expect to hear a loud whine for the 1st sub 20 fillup. Please report every fillup you care to report-multiple reports gladly accepted.I would love to see a low number-don't be shy.These are awfully good numbers-ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THIS IS FULL AC SEASON?? In the summer the with our Pilot the AC consumes ~6% of every gallon of gas in city driving.Lotta volume to cool-lotta glass.

Replying to: phoebeisis (Jun 30, 2005 7:42 am) My wife was ho-hum about us getting the HH, but she recently changed jobs to one that is a 45-mile drive each way. She absolutely loves the HH and is disappointed when she has to drive the Jaguar. The mileage has turned into something of a game with her and she reports to me daily. Last night she said that she's up to 28.5 mpg in city and stop-and-go freeway driving. That's with about 1800 miles on the odometer. As a teacher, she gets 6 weeks off starting yesterday, so my car is MY car again for a while.

Replying to: phoebeisis (Jun 30, 2005 7:42 am) My first fill up was at 11.5 gallons with 320 miles so that was 27.8 mpg and that was mainly freeway with some crawling traffic which is noted at number 5.   My second fill up was at 13.5 gallons with 365 miles so that was 27 mpg and a good part of that was the end of my long drive.   Unfortunately, to get to work, I have a good size hill to go over and I come home the back way so I don't get that coasting advantage. So I'm curious on what the numbers will be for this tank. Replies to this message: tomslyck (Jul 01, 2005 12:25 pm)

Replying to: sbgirl (Jul 01, 2005 12:07 pm) What goes up almost always comes down.....but I doubt that the mileage is as good as it would be on a flat drive.

Replying to: phoebeisis (Jul 01, 2005 3:49 pm) I just picked up my HH 4wdi/AF this Friday and immediately drove to Chicago for the 4th of July weekend. I noted that the vehicle was very smooth in the transitions from ICE to Batt and back again, as I drove on I-94. It was also rock steady... as some 32 wheel steel-haulers passed us at speed. I 'eyeballed' the gas gauge to be at 3/4 full and made a WASG of 1/4 of 17.2 gals = 4.3 gals 125 miles = 29.069767 MPG !!! I realize that this is not quite 'accurate,' but it sures sounds good for mostly freeway mileage. In comparison to my 4.7L Tundra, the HH HAS the acceleration of a V-8, feels SOLID on the road and is comfortable for four persons + some gear.   Despite some reservations prior to aquistion (mainly the MSRP Price)   I LIKE IT !!!   In comparison with my Tundra, my only complaint was a lack of a 'coin holder,' which in these parts (tollroads) is a neccesity...I thought that a coin insert would work well in the unneeded (perhaps unnecessary in these times) ashtray..are ya listening Toyota ???
