I bought my van new in 2005 and have gotten no better than 18 MPG HWY. I have used 92 octane and 87 octane. There is no difference. This van has very little power compared to my 1997 GMC Yukon with a 5.7 liter V8 and gets only 2 to 3 MPG better. I like the vans power sliding doors and the AWD is great in the snow and ice but with the new V8s getting close to 20 MPG, I kind of wish I had bought a new Yukon instead. My van is paid off and I plan on keeping it five or six more years but I will be replacing it with a V8 powered vehicle. There is very little difference in fuel mileage but the V8 has a lot more power.

Around town we've been getting around 22mpg, but I finally took a road trip and saw 27+ again.

I am wondering if there will be any difference of MPG between base model CE as compared to fully loaded Limited. All wheel drive, 17" aluminum wheels, Power sliding doors, power hatchback, and other accessories all add weight to the vehicle. I checked edmunds.com and it lists gross weight of 5690 lb for all the models. But I guess gross wt will be different between these models (and accessories) and will eventually impact MPG. RAV4 uses same engine (3.5 L) but rated 19/27. The gross weight of RAV4 is 4720 lbs. I am ready to buy new Sienna and trying to figure out how to keep Gross weight minimum. Most importantly, will there be any impact of this low weight on MPG ? |

Around 17 - 18 city 20 - 22 Hwy at 70 - 85 miles per hour. WARNING - These numbers are a little off as my GPS reads about 2 to 3 mph less at 75. (GPS = 73 and Van says 75; GPS says 77 and van is at 80) This translate into about 2.6%to 3% less. So the numbers are about 0.5 mpg too many, best case. My Garmin 650 GPS and my Pontiac Vibe are dead on. Wheels are original wheels with the XLE. Can anyone share GPS mph experience? A few post before notes a slight diff. This also affects odometer reading for selling the van, or your lease values....100K miles is really closer to 97,000 miles..... This was not the intent when I started writing this post, but can anyone say "class action suit?" |

Replying to: vinijin (May 15, 2008 1:39 am) Basically a mid-level model. The Limited are heavier, and I have seen a tendency for the lighter models (CE, LE) to get better gas mileage. This is purely empirical data. EPA says they're the same. |
