Yea, I am fully expecting to be in that range when the full tank is used while towing. I am not fully convinced, but I am trying mid-grade on this fill up.
Still going through Illinois and it is super flat terrain. We're maintaining 65mph. |

Congrats. Most here usually get around 12 mpg so I'm surprised to see your number.

So our first fill-up towing, we got 15.7 mpg which was about 75% of that tank. I expect it to get worse as the terrain here is pretty flat.

We made it to Mt. Vernon, Il. last night and averaged 24.7 mpg not towing. Will update the thread today once we get hooked up and are towing back home.

Best wishes for a safe and happy trip. I'd be interested in your gas mileage and towing capability of your Odyssey. We have a Toyota Sienna set up and we bought a 177 last Dec. Not used it yet. Not too bright to buy a trailer in the middle of winter when we can't use it and check it out. I got too excited, I guess.

GaRedneck81, might just take you up on that. Will depend heavily on how our time looks getting back. This is going to be a crazy trip as far as distance covered and time allotted.

Thanks for the tip on the truck stop, Goose! Looks like the dealer is right on the other side of I80. Will definitely drop in and check it out.

Welcome, when in Walcott fuel up at I-80 Truck Stop (Worlds Largest Truck Stop) and walk down to the Chrome Shop to check out the wall of lights. All kinds for the inside and the outside, neat old trucks all over too. Goose
