#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)
On mostly Highway I am getting 23.2 mpg
#1802 of 1837 DC to CT and back by ateixeira Nov 05, 2008 (1:39 pm)
Got 26.5 going up to CT, with mixed in town driving while I was there.   Got an even better 27+ coming back, though that was all highway.   Average speed were probably 65-75, and keeping those down helps a lot.

Replying to: ateixeira (Oct 02, 2008 10:23 am) 2006 Sienna easily gets 28 to 29 MPG on long round trips. Winter driving KILLS gas mileage. Overall average for 25,705 miles is now 23.4 MPG. Replies to this message: ateixeira (Nov 18, 2008 1:53 pm) hansienna (Nov 27, 2008 7:28 am)

Replying to: hansienna (Nov 11, 2008 8:35 pm) At what speeds?   I can break 30 if I stay under 55mph. Not easy around here, people tailgate you. Replies to this message: hansienna (Nov 27, 2008 7:28 am)
#1805 of 1837 Re: Good road trip gas mileage [ateixeira] by hansienna Nov 27, 2008 (7:28 am)
Replying to: ateixeira (Nov 18, 2008 1:53 pm) Speed Limit on I-15 in Utah, Nevada, and California is 75 MPH in most of Utah, and 70 MPH on I-15 in Nevada and California (except for construction areas). Interstate 15 in Arizona in the Virgin River Gorge in Northwest Arizona is 55 MPH.   We set the Sienna Cruise between 72 and 77 MPH on these trips except for 55 MPH through the Virgin River Gorge.   People still tailgate when I drive at or above the speed limits in all 4 states but I am always in the right lane except when passing trucks on the long uphill stretches.
#1806 of 1837 08 Odyssey with VCM by desertkev Nov 28, 2008 (7:26 am)
I just got home from a road trip, avg 70 mph with cruise control on....a few slow downs from traffic. MPG 27 .
#1807 of 1837 07 Gr Caravan 3.8L by jona57 Jan 07, 2009 (6:14 am)
Lease ending on this van & I've kept close records. Ave in city 17-20mpg (smooth driving-no jackrabbit starts), ave highway 70-75mph runs 23-5mpg and 2-3 mpg higher at 55-60mph. BTW these are ACTUAL ave gas tank fill-up numbers over last 15K miles under all conditions (i.e. not downwind, downhill, drafting 18 wheelers, etc.). BTW- trip computers on most vehicles read high mpg. With recent spike in gas prices this was active topic of discussion at various Holiday parties. ALL claimed their vehicles' computers OVERstated actual mpg in real-world driving (inc. GM, Ford, Toyota, Honda, Chrysler Hyundai, Nissan).   New model with bigger, more powerful 4L engine may do a bit better according to EPA, and at least 1 car rag   http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/oneyear/112_0812_2008_chrysler_town_and_coun- try_update_2/index.html Replies to this message: ateixeira (Jan 09, 2009 11:57 am)

Replying to: jona57 (Jan 07, 2009 6:14 am) On my Sienna, I've calculated both on several occasions, and perhaps surprisingly mine is very accurate, usually within 0.1 mpg, and not always high, either.
