Replying to: danatara (Aug 07, 2007 12:12 pm) just for sanity check purposes, explain your method.

Replying to: user777 (Aug 08, 2007 1:59 pm) Yep, last time it was off by 0.05something. Pretty negligable.
#1730 of 1837 Sienna Limited AWD mileage by matthew22 Aug 10, 2007 (8:22 am)
Just did our annual PA-Myrtle trip. 700+ miles each way, AC on the entire time, cruising around 70 mph, 2 adults, 2 kids, TONS of stuff in the back.   2007 Limited AWD - just over 22 mpg (manual method) for entire trip w/trip computer saying essentially the same. Averaged 24.9 mpg on flat highways in the Carolinas! All of these numbers are w/less than 3.5K total miles on the van, so it is not even broken in yet. Around town averaging 17.5-18 mpg (manual method again).   Could not be happier with our mileage thus far.

Replying to: beeman4u (Jul 22, 2007 4:43 pm) 2,500 total miles on my Sienna XLE AWD and the wife is back. Manual Cals come to 21.6 hwy mpg(computer read 23) and now we're back to city driving of 15.8 city mpg (computer reads 16/17. Still seems low to me but I guess it is what it is.

Replying to: ateixeira (Aug 07, 2007 7:49 am) I'm sure this has been answered before, but would you please explain how to manually calculate your mpg? And I wouldn't be too quick to think that the mpg improved on the Sedona. When I had one, it seemed like I was always putting gas in that thing!

Replying to: siennami (Aug 10, 2007 10:13 pm) When you fill-up the vehicle, write down the mileage from the odometer (say for example 25,200 miles) then the next time you fill-up (say at 25,600 miles) subtract the numbers to find the distance you traveled on the tank (400 miles) and divide the miles by the gallons that you just put in (say 19 gallons) which equals 21 mpg. The mpg is simply total miles divided by total gallons.   Joe Replies to this message: user777 (Aug 12, 2007 5:12 pm) ateixeira (Aug 13, 2007 11:29 am) hansienna (Aug 13, 2007 5:49 pm) and 3 more... marine2 (Feb 21, 2008 6:00 pm) user777 (Feb 22, 2008 3:55 am) and 1 more... hansienna (Feb 22, 2008 7:11 pm) and 4 more...
#1736 of 1837 2004 Odyssey EX by justaveragejoe Aug 12, 2007 (1:07 pm)
Just got back from a trip from Sacramento to the California North Coast. The first tank we got 26 mpg which included freeways and some 18% grades. Haven't filled up the second tank yet so it will include some regular city driving.   Joe
