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

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

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

TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Acura MDX

Acura MDX Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2014	In addition to trimming the size and weight of the MDX, Acura also reduced the size of the V6 engine from 3.7 to 3.5 liters. Thanks to direct injection the new, smaller engine is nearly as powerful (290 vs. 300 horsepower), and is even a little punchier at low rpm. It can run on three cylinders to save fuel while cruising. The QX60's V6, also 3.5 liters, lacks direct injection and is only good for 265 horsepower. Even though the Infiniti's CVT (continuously variable transmission) can hold the engine at its power peak, this isn't enough to compensate for its power and weight disadvantages. The MDX is noticeably quicker, if still not thrillingly quick. (It can get to 60 mph in about seven seconds.) Then again, fuel economy appears to have been the priority. In the EPA's tests, the 2013 MDX rated 16 mpg city, 21 mpg highway. Infiniti, aiming to top these marks with the JX35 did so by two mpg (18/23). A redesigned CVT shared with the new Nissan Pathfinder bumps the QX60 to 19/25. The new MDX trails the Infiniti by one mpg in the city, but tops it on the highway with a 27 mpg rating--tying the new diesel BMW X5 and impressive for a gas-powered three-row crossover. In real-world suburban driving with an economy-minded right foot the trip computer reported averages from 21 to 23. With a feather-light foot and good luck with traffic lights, 25 can happen. Drive the MDX hard enough to enjoy the snarl that kicks in with the big VTEC cam lobes at 5,000 rpm, on the other hand, and mpg falls into the mid-teens. Highway driving confirmed the EPA estimate. see full Acura MDX review

2014	4dr SUV 290-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Bought this car because the fuel economy was the same as the Hybrid SUV I was looking to replace. Best miliage is on the highway with AC off at 27 MPG. It gets 23-24 in the city with AC off. see full Acura MDX review

2002	4dr SUV 240-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	I have averaged 25 mpg on the road, occasionally reaching 26-7. Ethanol is bad for it (as it is on all older cars). see full Acura MDX review
2002	4dr SUV 240-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	Best economy in its class. For a 7 passenger vehicle, great hwy mileage. I averaged 22-25mpg strict hwy. 15-18mpg in town. see full Acura MDX review

Acura MDX Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Gas mileage is not good. The best I get is around 20 mpg, and use 91 octane as reccommended. I've tried mid-grade 89 octane with no noticable difference but for $1.00-$2.00 per tankful, I'm choosing to stick with what is reccommended. It would be nice to have a front wheel drive only version which would save on gas, but it's not offered. see full Acura MDX review
2008	4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Well, it's AWD, and it's a heavy SUV. As a result, fuel economy is not great. see full Acura MDX review
2008	4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	I have yet to see 15 city/20 hwy, even with 12k on the odometer and not driving it hard. 13/18 is more like it. see full Acura MDX review
