Poor Gas mileage on my 2006 Dodge Caravan.
Asked by Rob Nov 18, 2018 at 11:47 AM about the 2006 Dodge Caravan SE FWD
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
Can't figure it out people. Has
only 115000 kilometers and I
changed the plugs,
, sensors added fuel injection
cleaner, gas cleaner and has
a new fuel pump and am not
getting the same mileage as
my other 2 caravans which
are way higher mileage. They
are all 2006. Can't figure what
else to do. Anyone know what
it could be?

No Lights on Mark, I also changed the oil to Synthetic, changed pcv valve, air filter, Tires are all properly inflated, added Lucas Injector cleaner too. No engine leaks. My other 2 vans have over 200k and average in canadian terms, 11/5L/100k and the newer one is 19L/100K so way higher gas mileage for even less mileage driven. I'm at a complete loss. Am I missing something ? If I take it to a dealer they will want hundreds to scan and come up with "fake" fixes. Should I just get rid of it ?
I had the same problem but it was the Cat Converter, you say there's no engine light did you check the fuel line, it just sounds like something is clogged have your injectors flushed, that may do the trick it's inexpensive, your van has indigestion it sounds like.
Thanks Mark, I brought it to a dodge dealer and they told me to get a fuel emission cleaned out for about $200. Does that sound right ? I was thinking the cat converter as well. Or the OX sensors. But I would be getting some error code though wouldn't I ? P.S. - Sorry for the late reply. I couldn't find the site I posted on lol.
