  Efficient Minivans

  My 1999 Chrysler Minivan had a major tune-up last year (cost over $100) but is now getting 29 mpg on road trips where I control my speed to 55 mph.  I am getting 22 mpg in my stop-and-go city driving most of the time, but occasionally have a tankful where I only get 19 mpg in town; could be due to using the air conditioning this summer?On Umbra on buying big cars posted 1 year, 2 months ago 8 Responses
