If you own a Honda Ridgeline. How does it do on gas mileage for you?
I just bought a new Honda Ridgeline, RTL model with a tonneau cover and I'm quite displeased with the gas mileage. I'm averaging 14.5 to 15.3 miles per gallon. Now I did not expect fuel economy with a truck/SUV car, but I did completely expect to get inside the mileage ratings specification of 16 to 21 mpg. possibly as high as 19 or 20 mpg with the tonneau cover eliminating the bed as a big wind drag factor.
I do love the truck, but the gas mileage is a big disappointment.

I also am not thrilled with the mileage, considering it only has a v six in it. My city mileage is about the same as yours. I get just below 20 on the highway. I usually drive with less patience than I should although, so I think I could get the advertised mileage if I did not speed up so quickly around town, and did not pass so much on the highway.
I do love the truck, although, particularly the ride.
