Like many have said, should get better gas mileage for its smaller size. see full Honda Ridgeline review

Should get better mileage for a smaller truck. see full Honda Ridgeline review

16-18 MPG from a Honda is dismal. I averaged 20 MPG in my 2004 4x4 Ranger super cab. see full Honda Ridgeline review

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

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

13-15mpg around town. 18mpg on the road. Knew this going in though and I still LOVE this truck! see full Honda Ridgeline review

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

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

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

16-17 in the city. 25-26 on the freeway. Not bad than other comparable cars. see full Nissan Maxima review

6-speed shiftable CVT FWD
It is between 25-29.2 on the highway depending on headwinds. It seems sensitive to wind, mileage-wise. In town is excellent. In 4k miles the worst tank has been 23.2 when it was brand new and very cold out. City mileage is understated in my opinion. see full Nissan Maxima review

For a large car with a relatively large engine, this engine is mirror smooth which helps it get great highway mileage. see full Nissan Maxima review

I consistently get 25 in the city, and 33-34 all highway. Excellent fuel economy for any car, let alone one with a 3.5L V6. see full Nissan Maxima review

Depends on a lot on your right foot. Driven like a Prius, 26 MPG city and 33 MPG highway. Driven normally with occasionally throttle bursts, 27 MPG highway, 21 MPG combined. The CVT ratio spread maxes out at 2200 RPM at 75; a little high for MPG. see full Nissan Maxima review

City driving is brutal on mpg. If you get 12 mpg you are doing well. Highway miles are great - over 30, so great on trips, stinks for commuting. see full Nissan Maxima review

This car loves to suck gas especially when pushed. And not just any gas, the high compression VQ35DE engine requires premium. In my experiences anything less than 91 octane will yield poor performance and odd engine noises. I average 17-18 mpg at best. see full Nissan Maxima review
