Had a '97 GMC G30 Van for a while. It was automatic, two wheel drive and, had a 454 with throttle body injection. It got 12 MPG. Didn't matter if I hyperdrove it, or if I towed 3,000 pounds. It got 12 MPG. Tried all manner of things to see if I could get 15...... Over inflate tires, pull in the side mirrors, turn off A/C, nope, it got 12 MPG. It was like this truck was set, to only do 12 MPG. Like, it was programed to do that.

Same situation here!

In 1976 I bought a new GMC "Vandura" Terravan 4x4 conversion van. 400ci V8, 3.73 gears. Drove that thing for over 32 years - averaged 12 mpg.

After 32 years of rough roads it was either sink a lot of money into the GMC or get something newer. Found a 2007 Ford E350 4x4 conversion van for a really good price - 6.8 V10 with 3.73 gears. It got 12 mpg but shifted out of overdrive on every hill so I had both axles regeared to 4.56 ratio. Much better driveability...and after 70,000 miles overall fuel mileage is still 12 mpg!

So maybe all vans are programmed to get 12 mpg!
