so i've had my 2010 odyssey ex for a while, and here's the usual conditions

70% local
30% highway at 70-80mph, windows always up
usually only 1-2 people (about 300lbs) in the car with additional 100lbs cargo in the trunk
original 16" wheels and tires at 32psi
climate control is always on automatic ranging from 70*-80*
oil change every 5000 miles with honda synthetic blend 5w20
car currently has 40k miles on it
i haven't done an transmission flush yet but i will sometime in the next month

when the gas light comes on, i fill up a usual rough 16.5 gallon, and i can only get 260-280 mile to the previous tank, never thought it was a concern but just wanted to see if anybody else was getting the same results, i always go from a mix of arco, chevron, shell, 76, doesn't matter what gas i use, it's the same, i always fill up wit 87 octane

My first reaction is, get your foot off the gas, you're driving it like you stole it... In town, I get a steady 22-23mpg, and about 27-28 on the highway (no cruise). My tires at sidewall max, AC always on Auto at 72° (back hardly ever on), usually two of us + a couple or two (the only reason we drive the Ody is with passengers), 22K miles, oil changes at 7500 miles with whatever our Honda dealer put in there. And I can't imagine why you'd need a trans flush...

I don't know how fast you accelerate from stand still when you drive the 70% local., but it could be a factor.

My commute is 100% local roads w/ actual average speed of 35 to 40 mph.
I averaged 18 mpg with no passenger, AC on 100%.
I only rev the engine between 2000 and 2500 rpm from standstill.

On highway, Ody would give 26 mpg even with 7 passengers and AC on 100%.

hmm ........ I have to be first off the line at the Red Light (yeah, I heard you) .... mostly drive on hwy, (80%), local roads aren't that busy. In one yr got my ody upto 54K. Its a touring. I drive a little above the speeds mentioned in the first post. I regularly get 300 - 325 mpg on 16 gallon fill ups. I usually have the van loaded but also keep the tire pressure about 4 psi above the door post markings. AC always ON plus all sorts of electrical gadgets up at the same time. I don't shut it down on coffee stops either! I have no clue about in town gas mileage because I don't drive it much in town. Regular service and do whatever the dealer advises ... even the tranny flush!

Lets hear it

Owned two 2005s. 18 to 19 mpg around town was tops. 26-28 on highway. Recently got a 2011 still in break in period. Doing 17-18 mpg with snow tires on snow covered roads. Hoping for better.

I too experience 19.1 MPG (measured over a year 22.5K miles). Drive like you as well.

These vans have the aerodynamics of a brick. Drop your speed to 60-65mph. Watch your mileage go up. I got my first 400 mile tank doing this.

20+ mpg city is pure BS. NOBODY will get that in an Odyssey. But mid to high teens is very possible. Your tires a a bit low on PSI, air them up to mid to upper 30s. And watch how you drive. My wife gets 2-3 mpg less than me always - Ive seen a pettern with this gender. So easy on gas and anticipate stops or slowdowns. Otherwise mid to low teens is your in town mpg.

I use this site to track my mileage. https://www.fueleconomy.gov/mpg/MPG.do
You can also use the site to view other driver's mpg on various vehicles. I average 19.9 mpg. 17-18 city and 23-25 hwy.
