How much gas does a Dodge Caravan hold?
The Dodge Caravan’s fuel tank capacity is typically 20 gallons (about 76 liters), depending on the model year and configuration.
This article explains the standard capacity for common Caravan and Grand Caravan versions, what that means for driving range, and how to think about refueling in everyday use.
Fuel Tank Capacity at a Glance
Before diving into details, here is the standard figure reported by manufacturer specifications for most Caravan/Grand Caravan models.
- Fuel tank capacity: 20.0 gallons (76 liters) in most Dodge Caravan and Grand Caravan model years (roughly spanning the 1990s through the 2010s).
While 20 gallons is the widely cited capacity, exact figures can vary slightly by year and trim. Always verify the specification for your exact vehicle if precise accuracy is required.
Practical Driving Range
Estimating range from tank size
With typical combined fuel economy in the mid-teens to mid-20s miles per gallon, a full 20-gallon tank can yield roughly 340 to 500 miles of driving range, depending on engine choice, payload, and driving conditions (city vs. highway).
Factors that affect range
- Engine and transmission configuration
- Actual driving conditions (city vs. highway)
- Vehicle load and roof accessories
- Maintenance and tire condition
Real-world range will vary; use the vehicle’s own mpg readings and current tank level to gauge remaining distance.
Notes on the Carline
The Dodge Caravan was discontinued in the U.S. after the 2016 model year, with Grand Caravan continuing in some markets for a time afterward. In any case, the standard tank size cited for most Caravan generations remains around 20 gallons, though exact numbers can differ by market and year. When planning trips, consider your typical mpg and load to estimate how far you can travel on a full tank.
Summary
In brief, the Dodge Caravan usually holds about 20 gallons (approximately 76 liters) of gasoline. This capacity informs fuel budgeting and trip planning, with the actual range depending on driving style, terrain, and vehicle condition. For precise figures, check the specification for your specific year and trim.
