Why would you calculate your mileage in Imperial miles per gallon when your fuel is measured in liters, and distances in kms? |

Because most Canadians still *think* in cups, tablespoons, inches, feet, miles and gallons (Imperial ones, the only type ever used up here) despite everything being sold and marked metrically. |

Had a Caravan (2.6L) once that got pitiful mileage on Amoco gasoline, but got at or above rated MPG with other fuels. Maybe try switching brands. |

I have a very similar experience. My Wife drives a 2002 Chrysler Voyager
3.3 and local driving never attains better than 15MPG. On the highway I am doing much better with a MPG of about 23. I have had the vehicle to the Dealer 3 times and each time I list fuel economy as an issue and they have yet to find anything wrong. Other than this I am very happy with the vehicle. Additionally I drive a 2004 Chrysler PtCruiser, non-turbo automatic and I get a solid 21 MPG local since new. "cosza" > wrote in message ... >I have a 2003 Grand Caravan with 3.3.
