I used to always strive to get good MPGs. then i realized how boring that is... im perfectly content with my 26mpg for the way I drive...as an example of how I drive, I averaged 14 MPG in my 2003 dodge caravan with a 3.3(IIRC) V6. this was highway and city
By coincidence, I also (still do) have an '03 3.3L Caravan. Did you get rid of yours due to problems, or was it just time for a change? Mine is an all-around workhorse, and the engine and tranny seems like it will last forever (and will eventually wind up laying in the road when they drop out of the rusted-out body).Originally Posted by Pickles
Was time for a change...that thing was unkillable. 140k miles and no work needed other than maintenance. And the time I hit a huge pothole at 65 and broke the front spring. Literally snapped it. Still drive able till I got if fixed

Yep, most everyone enjoys having a newer vehicle with low mileage and much less chance for a breakdown on the road
35 mpg here with nothing but reg oil changes, sched maint, and properly inflated tires. just coming up on 130,000mi. I am a cheater tho, I am only turning 3000 rpm at 65. I used to see broken springs on early '90s caravans all the time when they were 10 years old. same on toyotas and fords of the late 90s. I digress... Try and get your fuel trims +/- 5% across the board and you should be good on MPG. The key for me was making sure my BARO pid is spot on for my altitude.

take a look through my fuelly logs here kevin7898's profile | Fuelly i did mostly highway miles and gave up a long time ago striving for fuel economy, i averaged 75 to 80 mph.
Thats prb fine for that speed. I average 55 mph on my commute with 15 min at 65 and 20 min 0-40.
