How it compares

Against the average small pickup trucks 2wd in this dataset (about 21 MPG), the Ridgeline sits roughly 0 MPG above that mark on average, making it a relatively efficient choice for its class.

Five-year fuel cost

Fuelling a Ridgeline for five years at the EPA's 15,000-mile basis costs roughly $14,750 to $15,500, averaging about $15,125 across the versions here. That is the energy bill alone — it excludes insurance, maintenance and depreciation, which for most owners together exceed what goes into the tank.

How it changed over time

Between 2017 and 2020 the Ridgeline's average combined economy improved from about 22 to 22 MPG. Redesigns, new engines and added hybrid or electric versions are usually what move the number, so the year you choose can matter as much as the model.

Best year for fuel economy

The 2020 Ridgeline has the strongest average combined economy in this database at about 22 MPG, while the 2017 is the lowest at about 22 MPG. If running cost is your priority, that is the year to target on the used market; later years may add equipment or safety features instead.
