2006 LE 300,256 miles. The trip computer is at 23.4 MPG, which is accurate, mostly highway miles, ferrying kids to activities.

Have you ever done any mileage comparisons between using regular or premium?

With 140k miles on it, my 2007 van is getting the best mileage in its life. When new, it would top out at 25 mpg on highway no matter what fuel grade I used. For the last year or two, I've been getting a good 27 to 28 mpg on the highway using 87 octane fuel. All mpg measurements are hand calculated per tank.

I think it's really important to note if you have AWD or not. Cuz, with AWD, you can't top about 18 or so.
No , I havent. To me the van performs much better with premium which I like. The engine seems less noisy also
I think I'll go ahead and give premium a try and see if it does the same for me.
Before you add premium make sure the tank is low, maybe below quarter tank?
You mean for comparison purposes? I was kind of considering just changing over to premium for a while and seeing how it went in general.

Several years ago I had a 2004 Sienna LE van with 254,000 miles on it. We use to take trips to Florida in that van. After filling up with Sunoco premium, I drove that van from Longwood Florida, 570 miles, to Granite Falls North Carolina on one tank of fuel! What a great vehicle that was!

I have been using 93 octane for a little while now and we get between 18-20 in the city and 21-25 on the highway.

Just gassed up after a long trip today. 474.2 miles and it took 16.168 gallons to fill up. Manual calculation shows 29.33 mpg. Overhead display is spot on. Not too bad for a 2010 Sienna LE with 420k miles.

We have a 2004 CE.
We had our best mileage last December as we crossed the US North to South from eastern Canada to Orlando FL then back, averaging 26.4 mpgs.
On daily duties, it's usually around 21.
My wife's colleagues thought we were nuts to undertake such a trip on a 15 years old van with 130,000 miles.

Just got back from a trip to upstate NY from SE PA. Just under 600 miles RT in a 2004 Sienna LE AWD with @96,xxx miles on it. Mostly interstate miles, got a bit over 24 MPG. Tried to keep it about 67 mph give or take. Used cruise when possible. I did take off the run flats and installed regular tires and now have a spare in the back.
Sheesh. This NorCal heat and pandemic has messed up my mpg so bad!
Rarely do any drives longer than a few miles anymore and my suburban area which is almost constant stop/go traffic.
Been getting roughly 14 to 18 mpg on my last few tanks
Did a good highway drive the other day and got about 22mpg without trying to max mpg on around 80 miles (with traffic)
