I have a 2004 Odyssey with 29,300 miles. I average around town (pretty flat
here in Ohio) around 13-14 mpg with lite acceleration. Hwy mileage is
pretty decent around 22 mpg at 70-75 mph.

How does this compare to others? I was getting 10-12 mpg and dealer did a
few things to help and it did, but it still seems pretty poor.

Does anyone know if I have any recourse in regard to lemon laws and such
given the EPA estimate for the van is 18 mpg. I understand it can vary and
this is only an estimate. I don't think 38% less mileage is reasonable.

Any input would be helpful.

That's probably what I get. I can get 18 or so in town, but with the
very short trips my wife makes, 15 is not at all unusual.
