I'm on a little a road trip, heading south as co-driver with a snowbird friend who's making an early escape from the Impending Season. (We literally passed flocks of southbound Canadian geese, fer cryin out loud!).
Weapon of choice (actually I had no choice): 2008 Honda Odyssey with 240k km / 149k miles on it.
Observation 1:
Sometimes when the engine goes into Eco mode, you can feel a very slight lurch, like a transmission shift.
I think this V6 engine runs on 3-cylinders in Eco mode.
Today's fuel economy so far is 8.0 L/100 km = 29.4 MPG US.
It's
rated at 20 city / 25 highway
Observation 2:
Fuel is cheap in America!
Observation 3: (related to #2?)
I'm seeing lots of side skirts on trucks, and a few full wheel covers, but only one trailer tail so far.
