#242 of 248 2009 Sienna - Gas Mileage by steve115 Mar 28, 2009 (6:20 am)
Just picked up my new 2009 LE 7 Passenger FWD Sienna this week. It had 70 miles on it leaving dealer. Drove it to work and back yesterday, about 25 miles each way. Reset the average MPG before I left work. Drive is mostly freeway, ran into some bumper-to-bumper traffic but averaged about 65 mph. At end of trip, the average was 27.1 mpg. I am very pleased. I think the new 3.5L engine paired with the 5 speed transmission works well. At 70 mph, the tack reads 2,000 rpm. I think that's what results in the good mpg. I will post again later once I have done the actual mileage calculation between gas fill-ups. Replies to this message: ateixeira (Apr 03, 2009 9:38 am)

#245 of 248 2008 Sienna LE FWD Highway Mileage by mes0707 May 31, 2009 (8:55 pm)
Just purchased a certified used FWD LE w/ 16K miles this week and immediately took it on a 700 mile road trip. Highway/Interstate travel with speeds from 60-80 mph depending on area and limit. 1st leg of journey included about 100 miles of city and mountain driving and was 26.5 mpg (both from trip computer & manually calculating it at tank). Second leg (return trip) was all highway (2 lane) driving through mountains avg. about 60-70 mph, with about 40 of the 360 miles on the interstate at 80 mph... haven't filled to check manually but trip computer returned 30.1 mpg !!!! I love this new van! Coming from a 2004 Mazda MPV this is a HUGE improvement. Replies to this message: ateixeira (Jun 01, 2009 12:00 pm)

Replying to: mes0707 (May 31, 2009 8:55 pm) MPV was my favorite van for a while, but you pointed out its flaw - despite being smaller and less powerful it just didn't show any advantage in fuel economy.   I'm glad I got my Sienna. MUCH more power and my mileage mimicks yours.
#247 of 248 '08 XLE FWD by dwarfl0rd Jun 01, 2009 (5:44 pm)
We have ~13,000 miles on our '08 XLE FWD Sienna and love this car. We get about 22-23 MPG in mixed city/hwy and about 29MPG on hwy. If we drove a bit slower, took out the rear bench seat Im almost certain we'd break 30mpg. It still isnt as fuel efficient as my '09 Vette. I get 32MPG Hwy and that car has 430HP! Still love the Sienna though, very smooth. Replies to this message: ateixeira (Jun 04, 2009 7:11 am)

Replying to: dwarfl0rd (Jun 01, 2009 5:44 pm) The vette has something like a 0.50 ratio on that tallest gear, so the engine is virtually off until you hit seriously high speeds.   Interestingly the Sienna has pretty tall gearing too, it seems to have about half the revs of my Miata's 6th gear. Mazda has super-short, tightly spaced gearing.
