Wow, you are getting amazing mileage out of yours considering the average real world combined average on Fuelly.com for 2017-2019 Ridgelines is 20.4 mpg. It is almost unbelievable. ;)
It's almost like anecdotal reports of extremely good fuel economy aren't accurate or something. Weird.
I never seem to get the best mileage either. I just finished a 3750 mile trip with my F350 dually crew cab, 6.7 liter diesel (3.55 rear end) with a Bigfoot 2500, 10.6 camper. The truck averaged 11.8 mpg for the entire trip. I always wonder about people claiming 15+ mpg for the same type of rig and wonder how they manage that...
You don't mention your speed. That makes a lot of difference. I can get 12mpg out of my 35' motorhome at 62mph but it drops to low 11's if I kick it up to the low 70's. It is a diesel.
I used to carry a 12.5ft camper in a 1991 F250 with a 460 and got 10.1mpg in the low 60's. I let my 17 year old son take it on a trip. He had more time than cash so he drove at 55mph and got 12mpg out of it.
Also, I have noticed that most people that really brag about their fuel economy only spot check their mileage and tend to remember the one tank that gave them the best mileage.
