Remove the rear dually wheels put a spacer (that they sell for this) on then one commercial tire a side. Fuel savings may be as high as 2 or 3 mpg.
Remove mirrors add wide angle cameras mounted on a piece of pipe that is bolted to the original mirror mount points.
My guesstimate is the mirrors would save 1 -2 mpg, making possible 4 -5 mpg combined improvement on top of what you have done already,possible you could get 19-20 mpg in your cube van.
*Wow* that would be a cube van miracle that your close to making a reality.
I bet you could sell your Eco mods to other van operators.Great work you have done.
