Loka...
Yeah that might be a valid and fun idea. but I haul a 5000 pound trailer 180 miles each way once a week. Otherwise I put 50 miles a week on the minivan.
Originally I bought vans and sold my sedans so I could haul bicycles to the races thoughout the midwest and west. When that ended I bought these farms in Missouri and started commuting to there on weekends.
As far as statistics go the county that I live in has 15,000 people with about 500,000 deer. To average the statistics for the entire state puts in many urban areas that do not have the problems that our area has. Please don't go telling me I am wrong clev, you don't drive my roads. Frankly though if I were forced to live in a metro area I would probably continue to drive a tank.
Before we bought our econoline 4 years ago we looked at sprinters and even diesel econolines. All were $7-20k more than we gave for our van. It would take significant economy to pay for gas savings when the the price of diesel has been 15% higher than gasohal the only gasoline product we can get.
I was looking at my mini van today and thought of how I could improve it's aerodynamics. Ill start another post about it.
