Replying to: dsrtrat2 (Dec 27, 2008 5:07 pm) 2,150 miles so far and averaging 24.88 MPG. Terrain around here is almost table-top flat. Had a day with wind and another with some heavy rain. Tires were under inflated by 2-3 PSI til I put 36 PSI in all 4 of them yesterday. That may help the MPG a bit. Just filled up and got 26.8 MPG, with about 50% metro freeway driving at 55 - 70 MPH. I know 1 tank does not mean much by itself, so will continue to keep checking it tank by tank.

I am getting about 13 mpg on 2000 odyssey ex-l. I have tried everything to increase the mpg to no avail. This includes premium fuel, synthetic oil, maintaining tire pressure, fuel additives etc. I also get a check engine code about every other tank that indicates 'Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected' then replaced as cap.

Replying to: radloft (Jan 09, 2009 3:21 pm) Has it always been this bad? What type of terrain are you driving in? Have you changed the plugs and all the associated wiring? Are the plugs gapped properly? Some vehicles are just born to lose, unless you can track down the real culprit. |

In Oct. we had a big wreck ("T" bone), bumper to bumper on the right side, $7000 worth of repairs, and 2 months ooc. We just got back from FL. The 3 best MPG were 28, 29, and 30MPG. With a warmed up van our ave. speed 66 MPH (GPS ave.), AC off (manually), cruise control, various out side temps, light traffic, tires at 36 psi, two people+camping gear (light weight), and a mix of 87 and 89 octane fuel. the best MPG was in hilly VA WV and PA leg of our trip.

Just did our first fill up on our brand new Odyssey. We got 16.4 mpg, with almost all of that in-city driving, with lots of up and down (we live just north of Seattle), stops and starts. I was concerned we'd be down in the 13 or 14 mpg range, so this isn't too bad. I'm hoping for some improvement once the engine is broken in better. Katy |

Replying to: dsrtrat2 (Dec 27, 2008 5:07 pm) Second tank, a trip from Ottawa to Montreal, 90% of highway driving at 63 MPH. Return 22.5 MPG. That was really bad compare to my 2002 Civic which can easily return over 40 MPG with the same driving condition. The bad things regard the Odyssey is that the 5 speed auto transimission is hard to drive smoothly if you don't push it hard. When accelerate slowly, it feels very choppy especially in gear 2 and 3. From gear 1 to 2, it jumps and from 2 to 3, it holds back a while before making the shift. Not sure if any one else have such problem.

My Oddyssey is a two year old. When I first purchased it I remember thinking that the transmission was rougher than the transmission on my Dodge Gran Caravan. I don't notice it any more, perhpas I have gotten used to it or perhaps it needed a break in period. I guess that Idon't care if it is a bit rougher as long as it lasts a good long time. I have come to the conclusion that comparing in town mileage to the experience of someone else does not make much sense. Someone with a ten mile commute with fewer stoplights will get better mileage than I do with my 3 mile commute with many stoplights.
