We are getting 20 mpg around town and 25 mpg on the interstate with our Odyssey, which is about what we got with our Element, but now have twice the room for our traveling needs. Still wouldn't mind having both though.

I think once we get this country converted to run on Methane gas we can have any size vehicle we want. Now it's just getting the country to see it the way I see it. Drew

Our grandkids are 4 hours away, and they go home with their parents....
Besides - the Element still has 2 rear seats...
And can pull our tent trailer, which meets our traveling needs....
Sorry, but I'm just not a mini van guy....
I'm trying to convince the wife we need one of these to pull the retirement trailer...
(trailer has a 'garage' that the Element fits into )

Just look at my sig.

I can't help but get another Honda...

Auto-Life is bliss.

I love the Ody for a long haul cruiser!!! We run to Las Vegas or to San Fransisco the Ody is the 'hands down' choice of transportation. I love my E and the CR-V is a fine little lady's SUV, but for high speed touring, one cannot beat the ODY!!!!!!!

Sold our Element (2003 EX - Sunset Pearl) in 2006 to purchase our 03 Ody. Not enough seat belts. Besides, I didn't like the ride (very choppy front to back), noisy, and the doors are a real pain in parking lots with 9x18 striping.

BTW: I sold it for $11.5K and it had 72K on it. Purchased our 03 ODY with 35K on it for only $14K! Nothing like picking up a nicer vehicle (IMHO) with nearly 40K less miles and the same vintage for only 3 grand!!

Mobil 1 makes a far better motor oil vs. conventional oil, but AMSOIL is the best fully synthetic lubricant you can buy. Check out 3HT Synthetics, LLC - Independent AMSOIL Dealer - North Newton, Kansas for AMSOIL 5W-20 XL (7,500 or 6 month) motor oil and 100% synthetic transmission fluid that exceeds the Honda ATF standard.
