#73 of 1839 Sienna LE 2000 by lynne29 Mar 30, 2000 (1:00 pm)
During our recent 900 mile highway trip, our Seinna averaged 23.7 mpg, using 93 octane. Everyday use averages out to be around 20-21, after 8,000 total miles driven so far. Great ride, love our Sienna.

Always got good mileage with this van...after recent tuneup (platinum NGK plugs, magnacor wires, cap and rotor) mileage has improved considerably. Recent results of mixed city and highway driving were 21.8, 22.1 and an incredible 23.5 mpg! That's economy car territory with a much better ride! Van is at 53,000 miles and not driven hard.

What kind of economy car gets only 23.5 mpg?

3000 miles on odometer (bought in April 2000) in town mileage 12.8 miles per gallon. Do not have stats for hwy yet. Am I correct in understanding that this is way below normal ?
#78 of 1839 Odyssey: 25.1 MPG on the average by vrybicki Jun 04, 2000 (12:00 am)
If you measured the gas mileages of 1000 identical cars off the end of the assembly line, some would measure above average and some would measure below average. I think my 2000 Honda Odyssey may be above average. For the first 10,000 miles my Odyssey has had the following mpg: Minimum 18.2 Winter Stop & Go driving Average 25.1 10,000 mile overall average Maximum 33.2 Non-stop Interstate driving                     This was with mostly 87 octane gas with a few 89 octane fill-ups. (With the Maximum I had a good tail wind on I69 in Michigan.)

No, I do not have to stop at every block. But, I tell you what I DO do. Almost every morning, I pull over in a nearby parking lot and run the engine with A/C while I play my guitar. (It's like the only chance I get, cause there's no place to get away at the house...). I sit there for about a half hour. OBVIOUSLY, this is going to cause a reduction in gas mileage,  as I am sitting there comsuming gas, but adding  no miles. Frankly, I doubt this practice is solely responsible for bringing me down to 12.8 mpg, but I know it is not helping. I am now repeating the experiment without pulling over in the morning. I certainly appreciate everyone's comments on this issue. This website is great !
#80 of 1839 2000 ODY EX mileage by ghost7 Jun 19, 2000 (9:03 pm)
With 1400 miles on our vehicle here are the results. All gas is 87 octane in flat conditions. weather is consistently 75 to 95 here in SE Texas. Worst: all city, school lines, bank lines, etc. 14.8 MPG. City/Hwy: about 50/50 split, got 18.95 MPG. Best: All I-10 to Houston and back cruise at 71 MPH with a 10-20 mph side wind: 24.8 MPG with 5 adults, 2 kids and a picnic cooler packed along with backpacks, shoes, clothes, etc.
