Odyssey vs Sienna

[Alexsei]

Driving habits and traffic can change.

Traffic here no, but driving habits, who knows.. so your opinion is it's not mechanical?

Recently my Honda Odyssey fuel economy is very bad compared to manufacturers rating but for local driving only, for highway it is just perfect. I also feel certain kind of jittery jumps when gears change, what would be the first place to start investigating?

It used to be fine?

What are the before and after numbers?

I haven't recorded but I memorized around 16 MPG now it is around 12 mpg, could it be merely a difference between summer and winter? I will have to wait to figure that out, but the reason I started looking at fuel economy  was because I felt something odd in the way the car started to drive with all this bumps and jitterness

It shouldn't fluctuate that much, you aren't driving electric.

Sounds like something is off, but it can be anything. The simple check ups can be done but if that doesn't help gotta ask the pros

Funny. I had the '22 and no problem. Switched for the '24 and had the changing gear problem you describe after about 1-2k miles. Still have it at 5k.

Not enough of an issue for me to warrant not having the car for a few days

Lots of dealerships offer free loaners

ye... somehow they're never available when you need one... Though if it's a warranty issue a rental should be covered up to a certain amount but you'll have to submit for reimbursement. I just went through this with Hyundai

Well if you’re not in a rush, tell them to put you on the list for when it’s available

How much can I expect to save in gas with Sienna hybrid vs Odyssey Sport, I put approximately 8,000 miles per year, 50/50% local/highway

[joshjosh]

You do the math on sienna I get 28 to 33 mpg depending winter or summer prob 50/50 highway  and local. highway and local is pretty similar highway would be like maybe 10 percent better

Personally, if an issue is starting this early I would want it on the record ASAP, so that if it does get worse I'm in a better position, they can't claim it's just because of the way I drove it for a year.

Is the feature on the Odyssey that it shuts the motor at idle stops good for the car? Is there a way to permanently disable it?

No native way, but you can learn to not depress far enough to engage, or https://www.idlestopper.com/product/idlestopper/5
