I'm not trying to bleed a turnip here, i know that my 360 will never see the gas mileage that my van did. I ditched the van at 260,000 miles because it was constantly needing repair. As an only vehicle, it just didn't make sense, and wasn't safe for my 4 kids. The Durango fits my requirements of 2 driven axles and trustworthiness. That said. I don't see the sense in driving any vehicle that isn't as efficient as is practical. I'm hoping for 20, but i will be satified with 18. Any 20% improvent is a win in my book, wether it's from a baseline of 50 mpgs or 5.
