I drive conservatively and still only manage an average of 15 MPG...the best it EVER got was 17 on the highway. It's a great small van that marches through snow like a boss, but it gets abysmal fuel mileage.

as far as the engines go they are strong and durable. Be prepared to do exhaust manifolds, coils, possibly intake manifold. I have never seen one die yet, and we have some customers that are terrible with maintenance. I'd be more concerned with transmission issues and front end parts on that van than engine issues.
