Honda Ridgeline Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2006 4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 17-18 around town, 20+ on the highway on regular fuel. see full Honda Ridgeline review
Honda Ridgeline Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2012 4dr SUT 250-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 Like many have said, should get better gas mileage for its smaller size. see full Honda Ridgeline review
2009 4dr SUT 250-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 Should get better mileage for a smaller truck. see full Honda Ridgeline review
2008 4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 16-18 MPG from a Honda is dismal. I averaged 20 MPG in my 2004 4x4 Ranger super cab. see full Honda Ridgeline review
2008 4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 My records show the published manufacturer figures are excellent but competators seem to be doing a bit better see full Honda Ridgeline review
2008 4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 It does not have a fuel advantage for being a unit body. I am getting only a 1 mpg combined city/highway economy improvment over my Dodge Ram 3500 Megacab Diesel 4x4(which has been sold to buy this Honda.) see full Honda Ridgeline review
2007 4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 I typically get 18 mpg in suburban driving, and 22 mpg at a steady highway cruise. Not awful, but I would like better mileage from a 3.5L V-6. see full Honda Ridgeline review
2007 4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 13-15mpg around town. 18mpg on the road. Knew this going in though and I still LOVE this truck! see full Honda Ridgeline review
2007 4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 The fuel economy is no better than other V6 trucks, and barely better than some V8 trucks. see full Honda Ridgeline review
2006 4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 I would like to be 20+ mpg but in this category the Ridgeline is a "clunker" at about 15-18 mpg. see full Honda Ridgeline review
2006 4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 i expected better- i get 17-18 over all. with a 1500 4wd chevy w/5.3 liter i got the same or better with much more power. see full Honda Ridgeline review
 

What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Honda Element

Honda Element Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2006 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic AWD		 For a teenager that does lots of driving for parttime job and to school, needed a vehicel that was large enough to be safe in traffic, yet give good gas mileage. see full Honda Element review
Honda Element Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed automatic FWD		 Sure wish I could get 30 MPG in this thing instead of 20 (though I have gotten 26 on long trips as long as I don't let my wife drive) see full Honda Element review
2005 4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed manual AWD		 This is my only major gripe with the vehicle... I seem to get a consistent 22mpg, whether it is city driving, long flat highways, or mountains. If I go out of my way to drive conservatively, or use a medium-to-heavy foot with the aid conditioner, the difference is completely negligible... it's pretty much always 22mpg. see full Honda Element review
2004 4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic AWD		 20 mpg city, 24 mpg hiway, low for such a small, lightweight car. see full Honda Element review
2004 4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Wish it got better fuel economy, but what do you expect for a brick? see full Honda Element review
2003 4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed manual AWD		 I always get exactly 20 mpg, which seams low see full Honda Element review
2003 4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic AWD		 It stinks! The EX is a bit heavy which drags the MPG to 21/25. see full Honda Element review
