Replying to: shipo (Jan 28, 2009 3:30 am) Thanks Shipo, I needed that. I'm getting about 17 mpg aon a 3.3. Plugs wires air filter are all good and it runs great. I saw one post where they were getting 22 mpg on a 3.8? I tried putting a Jet computer chipin a 97 318 ram I got but iit only gave me about 50 miles on a tank of gas seems like the older dodges got better milage. wo, that 17mpg was on that 2000 caravan.

Replying to: phillreco (Jan 28, 2009 8:07 am) Hmmm, 17 mpg sounds low, especially if that's primarily highway. On the 1998 DGC 3.8 that I just traded in two months ago I was getting about 19 city, 22.5 in a city/highway mix, and as much as 28 (taking it really easy, 25 was more typical) on the highway. That said, the 3.8 liter vans have taller gearing and as such, the engines turn a few hundred RPMs slower at highway speeds than the 3.3 vans. Best regards, Shipo
