You must be doing something wrong. I too have an 01 automatic Limited; use
5W-20 Mobil 1, pump the tires to 36 and always get at least 17.5 mpg.
Sometimes on the interstate, in warm weather, with a tail wind and a slight
decline, I can manage 22.5. My 3.8 04 mini-van does better. I think Chrysler
left off the good parts.
