I tried this on a road up between Franklin and Oil City, And the average MPGs were close to 35 in the Caravan according to the ScanGaugeII. I only went between one and two miles but imagine it with the engine turned off! And yes, This is something I learned from Diesel Dave so thanks!
Is your caravan a manual?
