28 mph first tank 02 odyssey

Got 28 mpg on my first tank of my 2002 Honda Odyssey. Nothing special, just an egg on the accelerator pedal. I payed $749 for the van,changed trans fluid and filter, new front struts and new used tires. Have 0w20 synthetic oil and Fram tough guard filter. Tires are 215/70R16, 5% oversize at 40 psi. Mixed driving, 50% interstate at 70-75 mph. I towed a geo metro 160 miles on the second tank, still over half.

I had to look up which generation a 2002 Oddy is:





$749!



Nice going - 28 mpg is decent from these things. My brother has one.
