This brings up something; I drove Boxy (1984 Chevrolet Caprice Classic Sedan) today and I felt something about it that isn't really quite the same as the 2000 Caravan, Being carbureted and riding in a different way than the Caravan; I felt so relaxed driving it that I was feeling as if I was falling asleep, Then I turned on the air. What is it about older cars? I also felt like enjoying the ride and it reminds me of that Andy Griffith Show episode in which Andy and Barney are just riding in Barney's 1960 Ford Edsel (Which would get about 8 to 12 MPG stock) singing their high school football team theme song.

And the last tank of fuel was 18.5ish MPG, Which isn't above EPA HWY figures but it is higher than some brand new cars get today.
