These vans don't get good mileage, they just don't. The absolute best mileage numbers I've ever seen from a G20 was about 15mpg. | | | Re: Mileage modifications | Joined: Mar 2016 Posts: 339 enthusiast | enthusiast Joined: Mar 2016 Posts: 339 |

All you can do is keep it in good tune. I don't want to know my gas millage, I spend 120 in gas every week. I could make a 480 dollar car payment with that and if I quit smoking at 11 a pack I would have another 660 for a 1000 dollar car payment. I should just quit smoking so I could lead foot all the time in the van. | | | Re: Mileage modifications | Joined: Mar 2016 Posts: 339 enthusiast | enthusiast Joined: Mar 2016 Posts: 339 | Step up to TPI when you can afford it.

I take it it has a ele overdrive tranny being a '95.
10 - 12 is the best you can get driving a stock 350 brick.
Now if you want to throw money at it, thats another story......
