Driving slower and coasting to stops will show the largest FE improvement in a minivan, hands down. Was getting around 30 MPG around town and up to 34 on the highway in the family's 2004 Sienna V6 before it was totaled just by doing that. EPA was like 18 city 25 highway or something like that. I also used cruise control but used the up/down buttons to adjust speed up and down hills to avoid downshifting on the very tall geared transmission.

I'm guessing your Odyssey is a V6? Does it have cylinder deactivation?
