I have been looking at used Caravans in the 2003-2007 range. I currently drive an Intrepid and I know I'll be giving up some mileage if I move to a Caravan, but I don't know how much. I don't need a gas hog; I already have a Dakota for that purpose. I've searched the forum, but haven't found much info on mileage.
What kind of mileage should I expect?

 

I average around 19mpg but have gotten 24mpg on a trip. All hand calculated.

 

I get around 19-20 on my 3.3 v-6. Seems good until I compare it to my Ford Focus. hah!!

 

I average 19mpg and it will go well into the 20's on highway only trips. Also, even when loaded down with 3000lbs from my popup camper and our gear, I can still maintain 16mpg+ with the A/C on.

As for your Focus, can it hold 7 people and luggage? Can it tow anything larger than a jet ski? Small cars have their purpose, but they are useless for large families and towing anything.
