Hey there everyone. It's the new guy here. I'm here to help myself save a little bit of fuel. The summer is coming and I need to start tightening the belt again. I'm driving an '03 Dodge Caravan.

Tonight I filled my tires up to 40 PSI, and removed some heavy items I no longer need. Tomorrow I will be removing the mud flaps and roof rack under recommendation from this website. Also, a few days ago I got an oil change.

I was averaging around 21 MPG or so on the highway and 18 MPG or so in town. I am curious to see what happens this weekend on my 1 hour 40 minute drive.

Also, it needs a nice wash and wax which should bring down the drag, it is super dirty right now.

So, hello to everyone and I look forward to learning from all of you. I was wondering, does anyone here have any tips specifically for my Caravan?
