Reason 2: The Dodge Caravan gets good gas mileage.

Compared to heavy truck frame-based SUVs or even car-based ones with heavy four-wheel-drive hardware, the Dodge Caravan is a relatively simple, lightweight affair. There aren't any secrets to making vehicles more fuel-efficient: make them lighter. Buying a Dodge Caravan is one way to fuel efficiency (17 mpg city, 23-25 highway, depending on model) if you're considering an SUV. Minivans, by their very nature, are lighter and easier on gas.
