2006 Honda Pilot 2WD MPG

WELCOME TO ACCURATE CARS

Because we are a full service non-franchised dealership, not only do we specialize exclusively in the service and maintenance of Honda and Acura automobiles but we also sell them as well.

Whenever I go to the car auctions, I always try to drive one of the purchased vehicles back. This not only saves the company and ultimately the customer money in the transport of the vehicle, but it also eliminates the need for the additional airplane ticket back to Accurate Automotive in Nashville, TN.

It also gives me a great opportunity to see in real-world numbers, what a particular Honda or Acura vehicle will average miles-per-gallon (MPG) on the interstate. I back our MPG reports up with the actual gas receipts. I simply fill the gas tank when I start the journey and I fill it a final time when I arrive at the dealership.

With that said, let me tell you about a recent return trip in a 2006 Honda Pilot EX-L 2WD w/ Navigation, which I copied and pasted from an email that I sent earlier to my cousin in Memphis, Tennessee, describing the trip and the great MPG of the Honda Pilot.

Bought an '06 Pilot two-wheel drive on Tuesday in FL and drove it home on Wed.....The '06 cuts out two cylinders on the interstate when the computer detects that the 6 cylinder engine can supply the needed output with only 4 cylinders; what Honda refers to at ECO (economy) mode.

The first tank of 87 octane went from Orlando to exit 218 in GA (418 miles) and it took 19.7 gallons....I had been running about 80 to 85 MPH and the outside temps were varying between 95 to 97 deg.F; so the A/C was definitely ON

During the last 253 miles of the trip, I had one area of about 7 miles long, just north of Atlanta, where traffic was very heavy (stop and go) for about 25 minutes. During that last 253 miles, the outside temp cooled to 83 to 85 deg.F and I my speed was averaging 75MPH. When I arrived in Murfreesboro, I topped the gas tank off. Again, I had been 253 miles since the last fill up and it took 9.8 gallons. I did shut the A/C off and rolled the driver's window down about 25 miles from Murfreesboro, but up to that point, the sun was shining and the A/C was on maintaining 72 inside the vehicle. Do the math....253 miles divided by 9.7 gallons.

That's right!!!!! 26.3 MPG
