I absolutely love my new 2026 HPE SUV. I’ve had it less than a month and it’s probably the best auto I’ve owned. And I had a 2006 BMW 330i (stick shift) I loved. That being said I’m underwhelmed with the gas mileage.

The 2026 Honda Passport has a fuel tank capacity of **18.5 gallons** across all trim levels, including the RTL and TrailSport variants. Estimated driving range of around 370–389 miles depending on the trim's EPA-rated fuel economy (e.g., 19/25/21 mpg city/highway/combined for RTL; 18/23/20 mpg for TrailSport).

I’ve yet to receive those mileage numbers. Granted I drive a bit harder. And I probably drive too much in Sport mode. I know I’m easily averaging in the mid teens. Am I alone in this underwhelming gas mileage performance or have other 2026 Passport drivers noticed this performance.

To be fair I’ve yet to drive my HPE on a long road trip so I have no test drive knowledge of extended highway driving mileage.

Pic of my 2026 HPE as well as the 2006 BMW 330i I had to retire because my wife could not quite drive an auto with a clutch. Speaking of which that would be cool if they one day came out with a standard shift on the HP.

How many miles do you have on on your vehicle? It takes a while for the motor to break in fully and the MPG will go up a bit once it is fully broken in.
 
Thank you that is what I’ve been learning. I just passed 500 miles. Had it for 4 weeks.

Yeah, that's not nearly enough! Wait until you have a couple thousand... should get better. It's barely broken in right now :) The rings haven't fully seated.

mine does well on the highway, 24-26 mpg... Not so good in the city 11 to 13 mpg

At first I thought my mileage sucked but I too have a heavy foot. I’m getting around 20.4 MPG and I can live with that for what, and how, I’m driving. Even pulling an enclosed trailer it’s not too bad as long as I put it in economy mode on the interstate
 
My highway mileage has become much better now that I have around 2k on it. Getting 24 in eco mode.
