I've got a 1998 Dodge AWD Grand Caravan with the biggest V6 (3.8 or 3.9). We drive it loaded up through the steep Adirondack Mountains and get 21.5 to 22 MPG. Also just took it on a 2000 mile trip through Canada and northern Michigan (mostly flat driving) and still got 21.5 - 22 MPG although we were driving 75 MPH most of the time. That seems OK to me since it's AWD. I do know that a 2WD Chevy Venture minivan with the 3.4 engine will consistently get 27 MPG on the same trips. The Ventures get the best fuel mileage of any minivan I know of.

Has plenty of power too, at least on those mild Michigan hills.
