You just made an excellent argument for me against recumbents!! they're too long to fit into a car.

And Emily, it's not flat HERE

We have considered the Dodge caravan, too, but i really want something LITTLER.
Mimi - I just looked on the Toyota website, and you are right. The mileage listed there for the Sienna STINKS! I've had mine for a year, however, and am vigilant about checking the mileage on every fill up. Worst I have had was around 22 mpg, but I have also hit almost 30. Thus, the lifetime average of 24.5. It is not flat here either, and I drive this up to our Maine house on a regular basis, and to ALL of our races.

I bet it would even hold 'bents - I know it will take the two tandems...
