Replying to: explorerx4 (Nov 28, 2006 4:52 pm) Nice link. I test drove my 2006 Sienna LE on the EXACT same course as I drove my son's 2001 Odyssey EX and the Odyssey showed 6.15 % MORE distance than the Sienna did.      When I checked my Volkswagen MANY years ago, the odometer read 4 % more miles driven than the actual miles. The speedometer was also overly optimistic.      These built in errors caused me to think the Volkswagen was getting better gas mileage than it actually did and made me wonder why people were passing me all the time.

Replying to: hansienna (Nov 28, 2006 8:39 pm) We had a Chrysler Pacifica rental car that registered 85 that my father drove, while I did over 90 in the Odyssey trying to keep up (this was back in 2004, right after Hurricane Ivan - we had two vehicles full of stuff). Wonder which was more accurate? Replies to this message: hansienna (Nov 28, 2006 8:56 pm)

Replying to: thegraduate (Nov 28, 2006 8:41 pm) Probably the Pacifica.      My son's Odyssey showed 2.6 % more distance than my 2002 T&C LX when driven on the same course.      I regret NOT driving the 01 Ody, 02 T&C, and 06 Sienna on the same course instead of comparing Ody with T&C and then later comparing Sienna with the Ody.        Interestingly, the T&C Trip Computer was closer to actual mileage when computing by dividing long trip miles driven by gasoline consumed than is the Sienna. T&C was about 1 % overly optimistic while the Sienna is just over 3 % higher than actual gas mileage.

I see where right now it's a measly $500 rebate. I'll wait, thanks.

Have DC minivan owners stopped reading in here or have Odyssey owners fallen asleep? Replies to this message: thegraduate (Dec 28, 2006 9:39 am) hansienna (Dec 29, 2006 10:16 am) 1997montez34 (Dec 28, 2006 9:52 am) thegraduate (Dec 28, 2006 9:53 am) rorr (Dec 28, 2006 12:14 pm)

Replying to: hansienna (Dec 28, 2006 9:09 am) I dunno! You can bet it will pick back up again once DCX revives its now-dated but value-priced entry into the minivan field with a competitive engine and nicer interior. Then things will start shakin' again!
