Driving habits and traffic can change.
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
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.
Take it to the dealership?
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
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?
Just noticed this button, it does hold between restarts
