You can get high 20's in the right minivans and they are so much better travellers then a wagon. Go back a few years on a Toyota around 2005 when they started using the 3.5. The early 2001-2004 Grand caravans with a 3.3 or 3.8 had solid reliability and cost even less yet could get 22-24mpg without even trying. 2007 up Kia and Hyundai with their redesign did similar and are low prices. Honda s are good but the best mpg models up until 2014 were only the loaded ones and to me never seemed worth their price tags so much higher then everybody else.
