John - that's not bad fuel mileage for a 3.0L/3 speed combo.
In 2004, we traveled to Tampa from Virginia to visit my sister while my older daughters (then 17-18) attended the National Youth Gathering (Lutheran Church Missouri Synod) with our '00 T&C Ltd AWD 3.8L/41TE. We were heavily loaded with a car top carrier. Cruising at 70 with the AC on the van was averaging 21 mpg.
On your travels through VA, did you take I-95 or I-81? I'm about 40 minutes from Fredericksburg and live off another major artery - US 301.
As to the hesitation, I'd check the TPS as well as any associated wiring and connections. Sounds like the early stages of the TPS going haywire. Just a thought.
