Your van is weird. I say that with love for the Chrysler minivan, but it's true. They're all a bit strange.

Did you know that if you put your transmission in "1" on the selector, and just give it hell, it will automagically shift anyway? Yep! Goes right up about 500 short of redline and shifts. Genius.

For their size, the V6 vans are fairly efficient beasts when driven correctly. See, you're only slightly lower than my best tanks with Cara on your average!
