Honda Pilot Gas Mileage

The mid-size Honda Pilot SUV was introduced in the 2003 model year. While the Pilot’s gas mileage may not seem impressive at first glance - highway gas mileage ratings of twenty or so miles per gallon (MPG) in 4WD trim - it’s good to keep in mind that it’s an eight-passenger SUV.

The Pilot is propelled by a 3.5 liter V-6 that produces 244 horsepower. The model has not undergone a significant redesign since introduction, although it’s rumored that a redesign is right around the corner.

2004 Honda Pilot 4WD 6 cylinder 3.5 liter R (L5) Auto 17 22
2003 Honda Pilot 6 cylinder 3.5 liter R (L5) Auto 17 22

Note: the EPA tweaked their testing procedure, starting with the 2008 model year, with the end result being that the 2008 MPG estimates are now lower than previous years. As always, YMMV.

Our Pilot achieved 27 mpg hwy less than two weeks ago on a 1000 mile trip. I was following a moving truck. On a solo trip (approx. 425 miles) I averaged 23 mpg hwy. Hope this helps. 6-9-08

If I baby it, I can get up to 24 mpg in my 2006 Honda Pilot (2WD) - that’s part hwy & part city driving. Not bad. Now, when my husband drives…it’s a different story! I’d say it averages 20. Still, not bad for it’s size.
