Going From a Honda Hybrid to 2011 LE- How is your MPG??

I knew upgrading to a large vehicle my gas milage would drop drastically. I am a brand new owner of an LE white Sienna as of yesterday. I am use to getting 40-50mpg



I drive during the week stop and go for only about 7 miles. Weekend I tend to drive around and use the interstates.



What has been your MPG??

In-town we're getting mid-15s with our XLE AWD (ugh). On the highway it's closer to 20.

LE V6 2wd: 20-22 in town, 22-25 highway.

LE V6: curr odo 3900 : 12 - 14 city (very small trips 3 - 5 miles one way) : recent trip hghwy trip MD to NC to MD (with posted spd limits), 410 miles one way avg mileage on info disp was 21.6

Our 2006 XLE FWD would consistently get 21-22 MPG in combined driving. The 2011 XLE AWD is getting 19 MPG highway but I don't have a reading on city driving yet. The new Sienna is much heavier and I assume has a larger displacement engine than the 2006 and the AWD sucks up more fuel. Oh well.



---followup--- The onboard computer is stating overall mileage around town is 18.9 MPG. But I do live in a rural area and the speed limit on most roads are 45-55 MPH so the tranny spends a lot of time in OD

what the 21?! ... my first 6000 miles clocked an avg of 13.9 or 14 mpg... limited awd. in NYC. mainly queens.

21 mpg??? Same here. Queens too. 2011 LE AWD. I'm currently seeing 10-12 mpg between fillups. Hopefully the engine will get broken in from more use!

Expect to get poorer gas mileage

1) During the first 1000-1500 miles

2) During the winter

3) In heavy traffic

4) With AWD vehicles.



That being said...if it makes you guys feel better my 2011 Camry 4 cyl. is averaging 22 mpg.

1) I kinda figured that would be the case.

2) See above.

3) See #1.

4) See #3.



And no it doesn't make me feel any better you're getting 22mpg!

I don't know, man. Maybe us Queens residents got lemons. LOL. I see one is Limited AWD, another LE AWD... I have XLE AWD and I'm on the same boat as you guys.



I'm in Flushing and I drive highway (to NJ) every night. So even with city and highway combined, my MPG still sucks. The needle literally goes from 1/2 to near-1/4 by the time I've driven 30 or so miles. That's about 10-11 mpg.
