I'm getting 17, mostly highway but I've been pushing it hard on the highway too. Around 80mph for 45 miles, then about 15 miles of stoplight to stoplight.

14.3, 14.8, 15.3, 14.3, 14.0 and 178 miles on this tank and it's just below half a tank but I just got it flashed with the TSB.

I drive 37 miles to work, half highway, half city/beltway. I do drive pretty hard, but I'm very disapointed wth the crappy mileage too.

I will say that I have 4.10 gears. The 3.21 geard vehicles should get better MPG.

I've been getting about 17-18mpg for the first 2000miles, mixed driving but mostly rural roads at about 60mph or so. One thing to note: Don't trust the computer - I don't know how it calculates the rate of fuel usage but it is not accurate. Mine has been consistently overestimating the fuel economy by more than 20%. 6-spd btw.

17 mpg on an average based on my last 3 fill ups around town , I hope to get better once we go on a trip using the Highways, but really we are OK with it since we came from an Odyssey that was suppose to reach hi 20's and that never happened..... , at least the mpg on the sticker are what we are getting and that's "true advertisement".
