On that little van I'd first see to it there is no luggage rack sticking out. Then, no mudflaps.

Ride should be slightly nose down. If it's level or nose up, lower the front a bit.

Grille block for sure. A full one probably is too much tho'.

Air dam or belly pan? One or the other, maybe both. Should help some. The wife wouldn't see any belly pan.

Maybe a cowl panel over the wipers would help.

Skirts? Meh. Do it if you feel like it, but I wouldn't expect too much from them

Other than that, just adjust the nut behind the wheel. Since the frontal area and Cd isn't too awful bad I would expect higher fe from that thing. Keep it at 55 mph or less.
