I regularly get 25+ when driving on low traffic interstate highways. My Grand Caravan has the 3.8 L V6. If the average speed is allowed to go over 72 mph, the fuel consumption increases dramatically. If the speed is kept near 60, mileage increases only slightly. That may be because most slower interstate driving is accompanied by traffic and construction congestion which cause more acceleration.
