Thanks.

Put on some 16" alloy wheels with more energy efficient tires will see how it goes.

This is amazing. I am new to this site and was wondering how you get away with deleting side mirrors? I don't think that is legal where I live.

Laws vary from state to state. I have side mirrors I just have relocated them inside and that works very well 90% of the time except when the van is very full and then I wish I had towing mirrors...lol.

These wheels have helped in an unusual way, since they roll better I find myself using less gas pedal and seem to coast longer helping with hypermiling techniques.

Reduced the weight to 2,700 lbs from 3,000 lbs and looking for ways to reduce it even further. Found this page where a guy got one down to 2,200 lbs. Photos 4
I may use some of the ideas but not go to some of the xtremes as I still use the seats but am looking into changing the seats out to lighter weight seats. I am averaging 33.6mpg right now with a 60% city travels and still have areas I can improve in aerodynamics. I got the alloy wheels for free and the weight reduction I have done so far was free. Don't have any money to spend or else I would have already done the other modifications.
