mods on windstar

[Wonderjava]

Hi, I've got a 1996 Ford Windstar GL. I don't want to change the body shape or anything real drastic, I don't want to look like a dousche riding down the road. So is there any simple things I can do to improve my van's gas mileage?

Thanks

That would depend on your meaning of "drastic." Panels under the body (undertray/bellypan) would be invisible, but I don't know if that's drastic in your opinion or not. If it has a roof rack, taking off the crossmembers (ideally, all of it) would help as well.

Blocking the upper grille area is easy and quick; but if you tow a lot it may not be feasible (or if you're in warm climate).

Next time you're up for tires look for LRR versions in your size.
