2009 Odyssey Fuel Consumption

[SLUGGO]

Just wandering what sort of fuel consumption RB3 owners are getting for city driving?

The wife does a lot of short trips, school pickups etc, and we're sitting on 13.6L/100. Appreciate short stop/starts are a killer for fuel consumption, but even 13.6 seems a little high.

getting on avg about 9L/100. Econ mode on, light footed lol. 2013 RB3

Odyssey RB3 - MY09/10 doesn't have it,

RB3 markII has it (also with updated front grill, and LED tail light)

Hmm.. Hope it's in economy mode by default

Is it sluggish?

ftfy.

We've only had the car for a month and came from a modified turbo forester, so hard to compare, but perhaps it is sluggish.

I do need to change the battery.

Car has done 90k. Worth changing the O2 sensor? OEM or aftermarket like Bosch?

Your Iridium spark plugs are due for changing @ 100k. That could be one of the reason why your fuel economy might be a bit higher.

It also takes a bit of revving to get the odyssey going, seeing that u have come from a modified forester, I would dare to say you might have also been a bit lead footed.

Don't think u need to change the O2 sensor. change the plugs, fuel filter and see how it goes from there

Thanks for the tips
