#1792 of 1837 Re: I'm amazed [hause7] by hakunam Jul 07, 2008 (8:44 am)
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!!!!

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)

Replying to: carzzz (Aug 19, 2008 5:29 pm) That's what drafting will do for aerodynamic drag. Bummer about the chips.
#1798 of 1837 Have 2005 T & C Touring Van by krl2 Oct 02, 2008 (2:58 am)
Gas mileage around town 16-18 mpg. Highway 24-26 mpg. Towing 2700 lb.trailer on highway also 24-26 mpg. Very happy about this. Van has 49,000 miles on it.
#1799 of 1837 25.1mpg by ateixeira Oct 02, 2008 (10:23 am)
Very mixed driving. It included one trip, but then lots of city driving too. Replies to this message: hansienna (Nov 11, 2008 8:35 pm) ateixeira (Nov 18, 2008 1:53 pm) hansienna (Nov 27, 2008 7:28 am)
#1800 of 1837 SEDONA MILEAGE by moore02 Oct 30, 2008 (4:48 pm)
My 2005 Sedona van does pretty well on the highway (about 26mpg) but around town is awful (usually about 15-16 but sometimes as low as 13) I know of others taht do the same..
#1801 of 1837 23.2 by titanse2004 Nov 02, 2008 (6:02 pm)
