How to Increase the Mileage in a Honda Pilot
Honda vehicles are known for good gas mileage and the Pilot, although an SUV, is no exception. The Pilot gets an estimated 17 mpg in city driving and 23 mpg on the highway -- not bad for a fairly large vehicle. Improve your Pilot's fuel economy by making small changes in the way you maintain and operate it. Even small increases in fuel economy can save a significant amount of money over time.

1
Regularly tune up and maintain your Pilot. Make sure to perform oil changes at the intervals suggested in the owner's manual. If the engine is not properly maintained, it will ultimately begin to work less efficiently and consume more fuel.
-
2
Keep tires inflated to the manufacturer's specifications and make sure the wheels are always properly aligned. Neglect in these areas causes additional drag on the engine, and forcing it to work harder.

3
Only drive when necessary. Try to get as much accomplished as possible in every trip. Drive your Honda gently at steady speeds to increase fuel mileage.
-
4
Use the air conditioner as little as possible. Running the air conditioner reduces fuel mileage by putting additional strain on the motor.
-
5
Avoid leaving your Pilot idling. In addition to burning fuel, idling vehicles produce emissions that harm the environment.
-
6
Avoid hauling heavy loads unless absolutely necessary. The more weight in your vehicle, the more fuel required.
