Sure, Your Ridgeline is a super-cool truck. But I can get 8 foot 2x4 lumber in my RX-8 with all the doors and windows closed. I'm not sure the Honda pick-up has that capability. Cheers!
about what I average in my 4,300 lbs 224,000 miles Honda Ridgeline AWD truck
.
Hey!
I thought you were one of us who loves an under powered, gas guzzling, noisy yet fun machine? At least you didn’t bring up the fact your truck can probably win in a drag race as well.
I’m at about 15.8 mpg right now. Still waiting for Charles to send my very recently ordered coils to replace the tired ones. Then I can rave about butt dyno results and get flamed.

Thanks to the pass-thru center rear window it does. Also have a topper on the rear. It’s been an excellent tow vehicle for my RX8 in a lightweight enclosed trailer; most of those miles have been towing near the max weight limit all over the country.
Which I was living in Reno, NV for a large part of that mileage, crossing over the Nevada Sierra mountain range often. It probably gets better mileage towing my RX8 rather than driving it instead. Compared to other trucks with larger engines the mpg is actually rather poor, but reliability has been exceptional with few repairs beyond wear and tear.
don’t let meat ***** comment deceive you; my love for the RX8 is well founded, but I’m realistic about some of it’s faults as well as find mpg total mileage threads on it to be mildly amusing.
I've tracked my mileage for the entire ownership of my car since I bought it in the summer of 2012 with 20 miles on it. https://www.fuelly.com/car/mazda/rx-...iomatik/136515
I've averaged 18.5 mpg with my old commute of 50 miles each way, mostly highway/country rouads. However, in the spring I changed jobs, and now my commute is only 8 miles each way, all highway. It's only 11 minutes door-to-door, and my mileage dropped to about 16.5 mpg.
Additionally, I seem to get about 7.5 mpg on the track.
How do most owners have such poor average fuel economy compared to me? I have always gotten 18 city, 24 freeway...
And yes, I do redline my RX-8 on a regular basis, once every other drive, and it sees combined use and even idling in traffic! This is all included with my regular fill-up calcualtions!

if I only redlined once every other drive I could easily get 18-20 mpg lol
All freeway driving and redline often. I am currently getting 16 mpg running the current setup: Versatune, Racing beat resonated midpipe, Racing Beat Exhaust muffler, AEM CAI, Radiator Fan mod. My reaction going from my commuter 4 banger crossover suv to the rx8.....
