2015 Dodge Grand Caravan fuel economy (EPA)
The EPA rates the 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan at 20 MPG combined. Every EPA test configuration is below, from the government's fuel-economy database.
City, highway and combined figures are in MPG (MPGe on electricity).
| Version | Engine | Transmission · drive | City | Hwy | Comb. | Fuel / yr | CO₂ g/mi |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grand Caravan | 3.6L 6-cylinder | 6-speed automatic · FWD | 17MPG | 25MPG | 20MPG | $3,100 | 445 |
| Grand Caravan | 3.6L 6-cylinderFFV | 6-speed automatic · FWD | 17MPG | 25MPG | 20MPG | $3,100 | 445 |
Source: U.S. EPA and Department of Energy, fueleconomy.gov. MPG is miles per gallon (MPGe for electric operation). Plug-in hybrids list gasoline-only MPG with the electric rating underneath. Annual fuel cost assumes 15,000 miles a year at the EPA's fuel-price assumptions, so yours will differ. Range is total driving range on a full tank or charge.

Read for lake-effect country
What counts on a 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan from Michigan to Tennessee
Lake-effect squalls, roads soaked in brine, potholes that open with every thaw and long Appalachian grades: driving in the Great Lakes states asks a lot of tires, batteries and undersides. These notes take the 2015 Grand Caravan figures above and flag the ones that carry the most weight in West Virginia.
Pothole season and the factory tire sizes
The smallest 2015 factory size is 225/65R17. Each thaw in Michigan and Ohio opens new potholes, and a tall sidewall survives them best: the 17-inch fitment flexes over a sharp edge where a low-profile tire can pinch or bend its wheel. After a hard hit, look for a sidewall bubble.
Oil for a frozen-driveway start
Factory oil: SAE 5W-20, 6 qt per change with a filter. A Grand Rapids or Toledo January can leave an engine at single digits overnight, and at start-up the oil has to reach the top of the engine fast. The 5W part of the grade is its cold-flow rating, so keep it rather than going thicker for winter. Short trips that never fully warm the engine let moisture collect in the oil; a longer drive clears it.
Battery checks before the cold
The spec sheet lists 730 cold-cranking amps. A Grand Caravan left at a lake cottage or in a pole barn for weeks slowly drains its battery, and a cold snap then finds it with nothing to spare. A plug-in maintainer for stored vehicles is cheap insurance in the Great Lakes states.
Drive systems for lake-effect snow
This model year was built with front-wheel drive only. On an icy grade, smooth throttle beats wheelspin, and winter tires do more for a front-wheel drive vehicle than any other change. When lake-effect snow turns an interstate white in minutes, leave several car lengths more than usual and let the vehicles with driven wheels at both ends sort themselves out ahead of you.
Cold mornings and the tire-pressure light
Air pressure falls about 1 psi with each 10°F drop, so the swing from a gray, mild lake-effect afternoon to a clear, frigid morning can trip the warning light overnight. Set pressures cold, to the door-jamb placard. An underinflated tire is also easier to damage in a pothole, because the rim sits closer to the edge it hits. The schedule asks you to check pressures and look for unusual wear or damage.
When the schedule shortens oil changes
The schedule's severe-service oil interval is 4000 miles. Winter commuting in Detroit or Columbus traffic, with stop-and-go crawling and engines idled to clear snow, is exactly the use that brings the shorter figure into play.
Fuel reserve for storm closures
Fuel capacity: 20 gallons. Lake-effect whiteouts can shut stretches of I-94 in Michigan or I-90 through the Ohio Snowbelt for hours, so keep the tank from running low between November and March. If you do end up stranded, a running engine for heat needs a tailpipe clear of snow.
Each spec in these notes is pulled from the tables above. The commentary on salt, snow, potholes and grades is general guidance for the Great Lakes states; the owner's manual remains the authority.
