I have a Hyundai Entourage Limited (same as Sedona). I spent 3 days in Vegas during the heat wave (100+°) and never got less then 20mpg and never smelled gas. I completed a 5400 mile trip from Wisconsin to Calif. and back averaged 23.9 mpg using milage divided by gas purchased. I'm very happy with the results considering the weight and lack of aerodynamics of this vehicle

I have gotten 22.9 mpg highway but last weekend I pull my1000lb open trailer with only one motorcycle for a total weight of 1700lbs in it I was down to 13.9 highway. During the summer I had two bikes in it I had 15 mpg, with the two bikes and trailer I'm at 2400lbs. I know your not suppose to pull in overdrive, but some times you just have to, to get somekind of mileage out of it. I'm just glad the van has a 5 speed and not just a 4 speed.

My 2009 Rio 5 gets lousy mileage too. My previous car, 1990 Civic got around 33 mpg driving to work. Got only 22 mpg on my last tank (25/35 rating) with the Rio. Why doesn't our government enforce the gas mileage?

Just an update, now our 2007 Sedona van has over 50,000 miles on it and still is getting over 20 mpg highway. Even with the bad for mpg oxigenated feul we have an studded winter tires we got 22 mpg on a trip across the state at an average of 75 mph. There are 2 mountain passes in that average as well. No problems except an air bag light that needed something under warrenty, and a leaking oil filter after the GM dealer doubled up the o rings on the filter. It is making some power steering noise I think (could also be alternator), will try changing that fluid come spring with an additive and hope it goes away! Overall we are very satisfied with this van but seening as how they stopped making them, next van will be one of those new high power 2011 Caravans after they hit the used car market, cause I don't buy new!#161 of 161 Re: 2006 [betht27] by guy125
