"I think a lot of minivans get in the 30mpg range stock with normal driving. Not really sure what ones get what but a quick look on fueleconomy.gov would give an idea of what is out there."

No, I don't think so. According to fuelecon.gov, and from what I've heard, most minivans hang around the 20 mpg mark. Even under "old" EPA they don't bust 25. Yeah, disappointing, I always thought they should be better than that too. Not much better than pickups. The only claims I'm familiar with that are above 25 are from owners of GM 3.8 dustbuster minivans, and hypermilers. Oh yeah, and the diesel Sprints.
