Dodge Grand Caravan Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr Minivan, ext. 283-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	gets an amazing 27 mpg at 70-75 mph. In-town mileage never checked, but it is considerably less. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review
2011	4dr Minivan, ext. 283-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The fuel economy well exceeded our expectations yet we had more than enough power to pass. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review
2008	4dr Minivan, ext. 175-horsepower 3.3L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	SE vs. SXT. The SE 3.3 mpg is as good as other minivans and many cars, and better than the SXT 3.8 or 4.0. The 3.3 moves the fully loaded vehicle very easily. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review
2008	4dr Minivan, ext. 175-horsepower 3.3L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Way more room than an SUV and quite a bit better fuel economy as well! see full Dodge Grand Caravan review
2007	4dr Minivan 180-horsepower 3.3L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Good fuel economy for the size of the vehicle. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review
2007	4dr Minivan, ext. 200-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	According to the computer in the van we obtained milage of 19-20 city & 23.5-25 highway at 75 mph. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review
2007	4dr Minivan 180-horsepower 3.3L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	For a minivan I get 18-20 MPG in the city. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review
2006	4dr Minivan, ext. 207-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	I love it best has been 29.8 running Shell 93 octane then 25.8 running Shell 87 octane. Love the fuel economy! see full Dodge Grand Caravan review

Dodge Grand Caravan Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Minivan, ext. 197-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	It gets almost as much as my 2000 Windstar with 158K miles. I had hoped it would get better. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review
2005	4dr Minivan, ext. 207-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	I tend to drive this thing hard, and on highway trips where I average 80 to 85 mph, the fuel economy is only around 17 or 18. Should be at least in the low 20s. Around town and with my wife driving it, fuel economy is around 20 to 21. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review
2004	4dr Minivan 180-horsepower 3.3L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Nasty city mileage. I never get above 15 mpg. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review
2003	4dr Minivan 215-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Have only gotten 20 mpg on road trips. (Expected better). see full Dodge Grand Caravan review

2014	4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The Mazda5 doesn't get great milage. But it's better than other minivans and most CUVs. Of the alternatives I shopped, the Mazda was the most frugal on gas. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2010	4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Impressive considering all this vehicle can do (carry six, or a bunch of stuff). Driven with some restraint (60-65), I can average 30+ mpg on my weekly commute. With a microvan that can seat six. see full Mazda Mazda5 review

2014	4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	If only. If only Skyactiv came out during the 5's redesign. While gas usage is better than the competition, it's far worse than it could be. Just popping in Mazda's latest engine and tranmission combo would surely give several more mpg. Just a 10% improvement would make me happier. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2007	4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	It uses twice as much fuel as a Prius. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2006	4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	vehicle is heavy for its size so the fuel economy is not that great. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2006	4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	My 4 speed automatic yields about 10.5 L/100 km on 50/50 highway and city driving with a conscious effort to stick to the speed limit and driving as if I had an egg under my right foot. Eh, I thought it would AT LEAST be under 10. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
