Re: Which engine do you recommend? 3.3L or 3.8L?

OK, I'll bite and post in a necro-thread.

My 2002 Grand Caravan with the 3.3L engine, my wife and 2 kids loaded for camping AND towing 1800lbs got 16mpg while maintaining a respectable amount of acceleration with the A/C on. I love my van other than the fact it keeps craping out heater resistors. When I use it for normal use I easily maintain 20mpg average and get close to 30mpg if I am on the highway. Mine was/is low mileage for the year, it just hit about 85K miles and I had to do some makeup maintenance that the previous owner neglected, but all is good.

PS: Never a 3.3L with a belt.
