Honda Element Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2006	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic AWD	For a teenager that does lots of driving for parttime job and to school, needed a vehicel that was large enough to be safe in traffic, yet give good gas mileage. see full Honda Element review

Honda Element Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	Sure wish I could get 30 MPG in this thing instead of 20 (though I have gotten 26 on long trips as long as I don't let my wife drive) see full Honda Element review
2005	4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual AWD	This is my only major gripe with the vehicle... I seem to get a consistent 22mpg, whether it is city driving, long flat highways, or mountains. If I go out of my way to drive conservatively, or use a medium-to-heavy foot with the aid conditioner, the difference is completely negligible... it's pretty much always 22mpg. see full Honda Element review
2004	4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic AWD	20 mpg city, 24 mpg hiway, low for such a small, lightweight car. see full Honda Element review
2004	4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Wish it got better fuel economy, but what do you expect for a brick? see full Honda Element review
2003	4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual AWD	I always get exactly 20 mpg, which seams low see full Honda Element review
2003	4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic AWD	It stinks! The EX is a bit heavy which drags the MPG to 21/25. see full Honda Element review

TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Honda Odyssey

Honda Odyssey Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2014	"Most fuel-efficient minivan" might seem like faint praise, but the Honda Odyssey does hold this title. For such a large vehicle EPA ratings of 19 mpg city, 28 mpg highway are fairly impressive. The Toyota checks in with 18/25, the Chrysler with 17/25. see full Honda Odyssey review

2011	4dr Minivan, ext. 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 w/DoD 5-speed automatic FWD	So are we are happy. 24 mpg in mixed and 28 on a road trip. see full Honda Odyssey review
2009	4dr Minivan, ext. 244-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	Best gas mileage so far is 25 mpg. Typically get high teens to low 20s. see full Honda Odyssey review
2008	4dr Minivan, ext. 241-horsepower 3.5L V6 w/DoD 5-speed automatic FWD	With VCM, better EPA highway rating than Sienna. see full Honda Odyssey review
2008	4dr Minivan, ext. 241-horsepower 3.5L V6 w/DoD 5-speed automatic FWD	Compared to our SUV, the fuel economy is outstanding. see full Honda Odyssey review
2007	4dr Minivan, ext. 244-horsepower 3.5L V6 w/DoD 5-speed automatic FWD	Fuel economy is reasonable for a family hauler that can carry up to 8 persons. I get 25-27 mpg on the freeway and 18-22 mpg in city/suburban driving. see full Honda Odyssey review
2006	4dr Minivan, ext. 244-horsepower 3.5L V6 w/DoD 5-speed automatic FWD	VCM added MPG see full Honda Odyssey review
2005	4dr Minivan, ext. 255-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	It is better then a SUV! see full Honda Odyssey review
2005	4dr Minivan, ext. 255-horsepower 3.5L V6 w/DoD 5-speed automatic FWD	Variable cylinder techology provides good fuel mileage for a large vehicle see full Honda Odyssey review
2004	4dr Minivan, ext. 240-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	a little better than the Sienna see full Honda Odyssey review
2000	4dr Minivan, ext. 210-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	We've owned this van for almost 12 years now and its fuel economy has stood still at 20MPG in just about any set of circumstances. Unimpressive but consistant. see full Honda Odyssey review

Honda Odyssey Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	0	Driven sensibly at 60-65, fuel economy seemed excellent, but step-wise, for every 5 mph over, fuel economy seemed to drop precipitously. However, the "ECO" function, in which 3 cylinders "drop out" when not needed, seemed to work well, assuming good momentum at the moment. So I can't complain too much. see full Honda Odyssey review
2007	4dr Minivan, ext. 244-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	These days, we should be getting much more than 24 mpg from all cars -- even minivans. see full Honda Odyssey review
2007	4dr Minivan, ext. 244-horsepower 3.5L V6 w/DoD 5-speed automatic FWD	Way, way worse than advertised in 2007. If I knew it was this poor I would not have bought it. Worse than my Chevrolet Trailblazer 4x4! see full Honda Odyssey review
2005	4dr Minivan, ext. 255-horsepower 3.5L V6 w/DoD 5-speed automatic FWD	I guess we average around 19 mpg. see full Honda Odyssey review
2002	4dr Minivan, ext. 240-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	Our previous car was a VW diesel. Need I say more? see full Honda Odyssey review
2002	4dr Minivan, ext. 240-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	Only 13-17 MPG. Bad at nearly $4/gallon see full Honda Odyssey review
2002	4dr Minivan, ext. 240-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	16-mpg. mixed driving. Bad. Much worse than EPA estimate. Dealer is big on excuses. Nothing on real help. see full Honda Odyssey review
2002	4dr Minivan, ext. 240-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	It seems lower than other vans see full Honda Odyssey review
2002	4dr Minivan, ext. 240-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	Never got over 20 miles per gallon on the open road despite modest driving habits. My Routan gets 26 and my Plymouth Voyageur got 25 +. The 3.5 V6 in the Honda is reliable, but terrible economy for a mini-van. see full Honda Odyssey review
