<font size=3>My '05 Gr. Caravan (w/Stow'n'Go) gets better than 24 mpg
overall -- 28 on the interstate at a reasonable speed --
67-70mph...<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">I also support my advice on
getting a Chrysler/Dodge Minivan with stow and go seats because right now
everyone is going for better gas mileage and the minivans will give you
lower mileage and lower prices. Hey the Dodge/Chrysler Minivans get
24+ mpg. Ask Mike Darr, he swears by them<br><br>

<dd> Phil don't you think that the nations attached to most cars is
kind of muddled? I mean Honda, Nissan and Toyota make a lot of cars here
in the US employing a lot of Americans. Ford makes a lot of their cars in
Mexico and Canada and South America. Stock holders own car company's up
until recently with the Chrysler/ GM debacle. Stock holders from Asia own
stock in American companies and American's own stock in Toyota and Honda.
Chrysler is now owned by Fiat an Italian company. Mazda is 40% owned by
Ford and the list goes on and on. I'm not usre what makes sense anymore.
