Hey everyone, I recently went on a long road trip and got up to 28mpg at one point. Just wanted to share and hear about your experiences too. Have you had similar results? Or maybe something better?

Try living in the city. It’s worse, trust me lol.

I’m coming from a 2003 Pilot, and I think a lot of my mileage suffers because of remote start. It’s super convenient though.

Just picked up a 2025 Telluride AWD and got 20mpg just driving around town. Not bad at all. I’m really looking forward to taking it on its first road trip to see how it does. I’ve heard people get up to 27-29mpg on the highway by using smart mode and cruise control. Almost 500 miles on a tank in a big 3-row V6 SUV! Does anyone else have an AWD model with good mileage?

I have an 2022 AWD SX and can get over 20mpg even at 80+ mph. I’ve hit 28mpg on some trips at lower speeds around 60-70mph.

I can’t drive that slow on the highway, but I’d love to get almost 500 miles out of a tank. Thanks for sharing your experience with the AWD.

Nice .

I’ve seen those numbers with my 2024 SX AWD on the highway too.

I can get 30mpg on the highway if I stay under 70mph, but that’s hard to do without getting run off the road, haha.

How’s your car performing for you so far? Is it doing well on all kinds of terrain?

I drove mine through Hurricane Milton and it ran like a champ.

I just went off-roading at Big Bend and it handled really well.

I’d like to talk to you about your extended warranty.

And that’s in sport mode too .

Oh, I know! Definitely back to reality now haha.

Is that cluster display from a 2025 model? I haven’t seen that one in my 2024.

I get about 20mpg when I use Sam’s Club gas, but when I use Shell, it’s about 27. It’s kind of weird, but I drive in sport mode often.
