Default Fuel Milage on your van's

Sorry guys, this has probably been on here, but I am looking at the Dodge conversion vans,, I use to have a 94 V6 short bed, and was getting 20 easy on the highway, I am wondering what everyone is getting on them now, could you let me know..
I am leaning more on the V6, but how does that compare to the 5.2 ?

please let me know what you have, year, wheel base, engine, high top, and what you get for mileage,,
I know the 10% alcohal doesn't help much.

Thanks alot everyone.

V6 gets upper 18's.
V8 gets mid 14's mixed or 16 hwy. My b2500 is the full HD suspension. It's heavy.

the more front surface area you have the worse your mileage will be. just be aware that the more you put on the roof, the lower it will go. keeping it clean and waxed really does help slightly.

I know you are talking about conversions, but I will tell you I get 11 mpg in the city/ hwy combined. I drive a Ram 3500 Maxi Wagon (15 passenger vans), they have been used for conversions. It's the 5.2L V8. The gas milage frankly sucks. I started getting 11 by changing my driving habits, I was lucky to score 10mpg.
