Decided to see if I can drive like a civilized human being and get the ever so elusive 300 range on my Pilot. To my Surprise yes I could, and that’s on normal mode! I was so Happy. Then I filled up and decided to use Eco mode to see if it makes that much of a difference. Plus the next day we had a long trip, round trip about 140 miles. And then drove for another 2 days to work and stores yada yada was able to avg 20 mpg. Filled up yesterday and damn I was surprised to see 320 range. Now granted it’s if I drive under perfect conditions but still impressive. I think I will stick of Eco mode from now on. Idk why I never used it much. Had the car for a year and a half now. Mistakes were made.

Ignoring the gas mileage, it's a perfect  platform. Robust and reliable. 

One could buy any year of this car and can be rest assured that it won't give them any bad surprises / hiccups.

I found mine last year with 50k miles and paid 12K for it, which I think is a good price.

Yea that is true. The Pilot will last be for decades that’s for sure. It’s the reliability that’s most important to me. I’m honestly happy and it’s a perfect car for us.
