Best Mileage Ever - Honda Pilot

jtdoster · 01-02-2012, 03:13 PM

Proof positive that the brick we are driving around is un-aerodynamic, I actually achieved 28.5 MPG between Raton, NM and Dallas, TX (Hand calculated with 27 on the computer). Granted there was a 30-65 MPH wind on the quarter. It would have been well over 30 if the wind was not clean on the side for a bit of the drive. But got well over 500 miles before filling up with plenty left in the tank. Oh, with 6 people and a big box on the hitch with over 300 #'s of luggage.

Why can't it always be like that...

How Calculated: Filled up in Clayton, NM. Put 17.2 Gallons in Mansfield, TX 490 miles away.
