[101Volts]

UPDATE, 30-August-2014 - I've decided to retire this van from fuel economy logs. I saw a fuel leak under the van. I will say that the highest I saw this go on a single tank was 28.54 and that was mostly on one trip, mostly HWY miles.

This thread is about modifying my Father's 3.0 Litre, 4 SPD Auto Transmission Dodge Caravan.

Current Deletions:

A/C Belt Removed
A/C Clutch Fuse
A/C Clutch Relay (From the fuse box)
Bug Deflector
Handles from backs of Driver and Passenger Seats
Roof Rack
Seats; Middle and Rear

(About 200 pounds removed between floor mats and seats)

Current mods:

Plastic Stretch Wrap on Hubcaps
ScanGauge II
Rear Side Skirts, Partial, Duck tape
Weather stripping in some gaps

General maintenance:

Air Filter Changed - 2013-May-7, 8, or 9
Fuel Injectors Cleaned - 2013-September-06 (This didn't seem to make much of an improvement compared to how it was)
Oil Change with 5w20 Full Synthetic Oil (2013-March-23; However, We added 10w40 non-synthetic in late August as we ran out of Full Synthetic)
Spark Plugs Changed - 2013-May-13

Things checked at fill-ups;

Fluids
Tire Pressure - 46 for Winter, A bit higher for warmer months (50, Maybe)

Other info:

14 Inch Tires

Things I'd like to do to the van:

A/C Clutch Removal (It's not hooked up anyway)
Seafoam + Oil Change (At the 135k Mark or later; As of this edit we just broke 132k on 2013-11-21)
"Street Sweeper" Aerodynamic Strips on Sides of Van
Windshield Wipers Deflector

Driving is shared in this vehicle; My Father and I both drive it.

Money saved target; $320 - At $203.5x so far
