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.

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

Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that.
