Odyssey: The transmission in our 2001 Odyssey blew out last summer. The van had 120k miles on it, but the trans was rebuilt under a "silent" extended warranty (we paid 20% of billed cost) at about 55 k miles many years ago when the idiot light kept coming on. The repair estimate for fixing the dead trans was last summer was $2000 or higher, IIRC. We said forget it and donated the Odyssey for the tax write-off to VoA and they fixed it up (probably with a junkyard swap) and gave it to a needy family. When we were driving it, we got about 18 mpg with a lot of short-trip in town driving. Maybe 21 or so on the highway. We replaced it with a 2006 T&C, but that only does 16 mpg in town. :-(
