Question

Is 15 miles per gallon average for a Astro van? How is this compared to other minivans?

Answer 1

I drive a 1994 Plymouth Grand Voyager and on my last trip out of state, I got between 22 to 24 miles per gallon.  I got the 24 mpg gas mileage on the highway when I dropped my speed to between 65 and 70 rather than the 75 MPH allowed when going through North Dakota.  So many factors play a part in gas mileage.  Fully loaded with kids and their junk or just mom and the dog ?  Wind at your back or driving into it?  Lots of hills or driving across flat land?  All are factors.

Answer 2

If that is the best it can do consider it scrap.

Answer 3

that's poor

I believe the average for a good mini is 17/20

Answer 4

for an astro, i'd say thats about average. 4.3 motors were never exactly fuel misers.

Answer 5

those things are tanks. im surprised they get that much, but then again im under the impression that they have a V6. So yea, it sounds about right.

but good luck getting that gas mileage when you have passengers loaded in it
