#1787 of 1837 2003 Freightliner Sprinter, 60,000 miles by oves Jul 03, 2008 (11:03 am)
25 mpg avg, sometimes better, never less whether loaded or not headroom comfortable driving great view should last for another 22.5 years according to Mercedes' average lifetime figure Replies to this message: ateixeira (Jul 03, 2008 11:11 am)

There is no possible way a sienna is averaging 29 mpg. I think many of these figures are bloated...   The only way your going to average 29 mpg, especially with 6 people + luggage is coasting downhill going 55 MPH. Replies to this message: hause7 (Jul 04, 2008 3:03 pm)

Replying to: lavrishevo (Jul 03, 2008 4:31 pm) The Sienna actually can get upto 30 on the highway going about 60 on flat roads. A friend of ours has an 07 LE and they got 27 on there way to L.A. from Sacramento and they had 4 passengers, luggage, and had cruise set at 70 mph. Here is a link of a reviewer getting the same mileage. It's in the on the road section. http://minivans.about.com/od/toyotaminivans/fr/jj_07sienna-le.htm

Replying to: hause7 (Jul 01, 2008 2:56 pm) I mean, they are world apart but I must admit, I didn't dislike it outright. Completely opposite philosophies though. My car feels fast even when it's going 40. The Sienna was amazingly quiet and composed even at 70. I just love the stick shift and am not ready to give it up but I might have to. My wife is trying to make a case after that rental. BTW, last weekend we went for another trip and got a slightly older dodge caravan. I drove the same way but got a a paltry 21 mpg!!!!

#1793 of 1837 July 4th trips by ateixeira Jul 07, 2008 (8:58 am)
Probably about 60% highway, but our previous tank returned 26.0mpg.

Replying to: hakunam (Jul 07, 2008 8:44 am) I think the Dodge caravans are too underpowered and that may be why it got only 21mpg. The Sienna is a powerhouse I think.
#1795 of 1837 2008 Sienna MPG by samilcar Aug 16, 2008 (9:47 pm)
Here are the MPG results from the first six tanks of my Sienna:   1st tank - 375 miles, 22.7 MPG, 50% highway, 50% city   2nd tank - 261 miles, 19.8 MPG, 30% highway, 70% city   3rd tank - 357 miles, 19.8 MPG, 30% highway, 70% city   4th tank - 472 miles, 32.1 MPG, All highway - 60-65 MPH average   5th tank - 501 miles, 27.9 MPG, All highway mountain driving - 55 MPH average   6th tank - 535 miles, 28.5 MPG, All highway - 70 MPH average   The 32 MPG tank was achieved with three people and 400 lbs of cargo. 30+MPG is very doable if you keep your speed down and drive with a light foot.
#1796 of 1837 Re: 93 Mercury Villager 360,000 miles [oves] by carzzz Aug 19, 2008 (5:29 pm)
Replying to: oves (Jul 03, 2008 10:51 am) I recently take a extended highway trip on my 97 Villager V6 151hp (100,000 miles with synthetic oil). I got 27 mpg at 60mph on the way and my return trip was 35 mpg 70-75mph. The reason i got 35 mpg because i followed the 18 wheelers within 40 fts till i got off the highway. It is not recommended because it causes MANY paint chips Replies to this message: ateixeira (Aug 27, 2008 9:42 am)
