I had a 1998 3.0 liter Dodge Caravan. Just before I sold it I took a 2000 mile R/T from Houston TX to Iowa pheasant hunting. The Caravan had 280,000 miles on the odometer. I consistently drove between 60-65 and averaged 26mpg. I estimated my mpg by dividing miles driven by gallons purchased, I don’t have a ScanGauge. I’d pulled out the back seats so I could sleep in it, but still carried the weight of my camping and hunting gear as well as my 75lb golden retriever. If memory serves me correctly, I inflated my tires to 45psi. All things considered, I was very pleased with the 26mpg I was getting. The 3.0 liter engine was an excellent engine, gave me no non-maintenance problems, and was still running great when I sold the Caravan at 286,000 miles (wish I could say the same for the AC and AT LOL).
