I have a 96 Plymouth Voyager. I love this vehicle so I want to try to wring some economy out of it. I would love to be able to hot 40mpg with it but I am doubtful thats possible.

HOW do I find out if I have body on frame or unibody? I just found out today in filling in my garage entry here that DAMN the thing masses out at 3700 pounds!!

Holy crap I did not for even a second think this was that heavy! WOW!

I am really hoping its body on frame as I have some killer ideas to make it a few hundred pounds lighter.

IS there any good threads for making a car lighter? I am not talking small things like panels and carpets and seats (this is a semi luxury family mover so I am not going to that length) I am talking BIG TIME lightening. Parts I can replace with aluminum or carbon. Things I can cut or put holes into etc.. (safety being of the utmost importance) I am talking IF I can get this thing down to 2000 pound range I want to try. that alone would boost me over 30mpg I bet!

I have been reading "tidbits" about people running 6cyl engines on just 4cyl.

Possible? How? Issues? Wear? IF its possible which 2 do I unplug (to test I can just yank the plug wires but to get economy I would need to unplug the injectors for those cylinders so no fuel is used.

Any other suggestions?
