Assuming that there are no MGS type anomalies and funding holds out (according to NASA's FY09 budget, the current extension ends in September); how much longer can Odyssey remain operational with the fuel onboard?

(I know you guys are strict about starting new threads, but I couldn't find any other thread related to this topic.)

Mars Odyssey performed well (Launched April 2001, Mars orbit since 24th October 2001) but its second extended mission was due to end in October 2008. Will NASA keep it alive after Phoenix Lander gave its last breezy breath ?
