#51 of 1837 99 Nissan Quest by dhoff Dec 07, 1999 (9:17 pm)
Average, 19-22 mpg in mixed city & highway driving. Low of 14 point something in city-only, below zero F conditions, with lots of idling to warm up. High of 24 mpg in strictly highway, mostly 55 mph speed limit roads (cruise set at 60). Usually around 22-23 mpg on 65 mph speed limit, interstate highways (cruise set at 70-75). Dave

Just returned from a 2,300 mile trip in recently broken-in Sienna. Averaged 22.8 mpg (range 21.5-24.4) on mostly flat interstate roads at higher than posted speeds. Fuel was "mid grade", 89 octane from brand name stations. Used A/C approx. 15% of time and was heavily loaded.

After reading some posts here I'm going to ask the dealer to check it. Something must be wrong.

Averaging 25 mpg on 91 octane. 40 mile commute 50/50. Very Happy.
#55 of 1837 Odyssey octane grade? by alexis5 Dec 15, 1999 (8:20 pm)
What does the manual say to use as far as octane level? I know people have been all grades without a problem.

#57 of 1837 A Little Improvement by tom3k Jan 05, 2000 (1:16 pm)
Got just over 18mpg on the last tank (mixed driving). Have been averaging around 14mpg. We'll see if this was a fluke or the start of an upward trend. Driving habits (especially from a dead stop) seem to have a larger-than-usual effect on gas mileage in this car.

#60 of 1837 DodgeGC3.8 by swampcollie Jan 11, 2000 (2:28 am)
99 Dodge GC with 3.8 engine. only about 3500 miles. Has slowly improved and now getting 23.7 on last tank. This is nearly all highway at 70mph on hilly (not mountains) terrain. Has one of those trip computers and really interesting to watch the change in mileage as you go up and down the hills. varies from 12 to 40 mpg. Absolute worst is pulling away from a stop when it drops to single digits. Also makes considerable difference if you drop the speed back from 70 to 60. engine runs at 2000 rpm at 67 mph (analog gauge so that is an estimate). Stands to reason the velocity makes a big difference since as I recall from physics the resistance is proportional to the square of the velocity. Wonder what we would all be getting if we were back at 55 mph?
