But come on, if you had a van that had 190,000 miles on it (and was used very hard as a newspaper delivery vehicle over some really baaaad road the first year we had it), would you take it on long trips?

BTW, since I usually don't use the air conditioner (except if it is raining very hard or the temps are well into the 90s, I get about 25 miles to the gallon of gas...

Astros are good vehicles.
