| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Good fuel economy for a 7 place suv. |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
When new, routinely 13L per 100 or worse, but improved after 1st oil change. Now at 10,000 Km, the gas mileage is around 11.6L per 100 in mixed driving. Gas mileage is VERY sensitive to wind direction. |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Many of the non-Hybrid SUVs have lower fuel economy that then Pilot. I am getting close to 20 MPG on average. A significant improvement over my previous SUVs. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 244-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
best in its class. Highlander gives better mileage buts its NOT a 8 seater. |

Over the period of ownership the vehicle has averaged 20-21 mpg in urban environments and 23-24 on the highway. This has been very consistent regardless of the driving conditions. |
