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
