TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Ford Transit Connect

Ford Transit Connect Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2014	With less size and weight and a smaller engine, the Ford Transit Connect does get better fuel economy than a conventional minivan...but its advantage isn't large. The Ford's EPA ratings--20 mpg city, 28 mpg highway--best the Toyota Sienna's by two in the city and three on the highway. But the Honda Odyssey is rated 19/28. On the other hand, the much smaller, much lighter Mazda5 only managed 21/28. What's going on? Well, the Ford is very tall, so even though it's narrower it's pushing nearly as much frontal area through the air. This especially matters on the highway. Also, the Transit Connect is not much lighter, 3,979 lbs. to the Sienna's 4,310. Two tons is a lot of weight for a 2.5-liter four-cylinder to motivate. In the real-world, a light foot in the suburbs could nudge the trip computer average to 27 (even 30 on one trip). The Odyssey's trip computer reported numbers about five below these, while the Sienna struggled to crack 20. Push the Transit Connect a bit harder, and the trip computer average dropped to about 23, still good for a vehicle its size. But was the trip computer accurate? The gas gauge needle fell much faster than these numbers suggested it should have. On a 70-mph highway, even the trip computer numbers were short of the EPA rating, about 25. The big minivans can do this well. Blame the Ford's frontal area. The Transit Connect's fuel economy advantage is chiefly in urban and suburban driving. see full Ford Transit Connect review

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

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

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
