Brad's Ford Falcon Station wagon

I drive a 1993 Ford Station Wagon.4.0 Litre 6 cylinder motor.
The motor is standard ex factory with no mods
I blanked the air intakes and took off the externally fitted sunvisor from the windscreen. Both these actions have given me an average 5% gain in fuel economy. On a long country drive eg 400km round trip the improvement in fuel economy is about 10%.

I want to trade to a smaller engined vehicle, but do not want to lose too much cargo carrying capacity. Any ideas from anyone who had done the downsizing exercise?

Cheers
Brad
