Nope Limiting the project to my Voyager on purpose. Many reasons. I already have it. I like it. I Fit well and my body is not wrecked during the 110 mile round trip commute. (I am over 6'3")

IE I like my van and I already have my van. IE I do not have to BUY another car. "adding" another $500 is well beyond my means. Its going to be hard enough for me to scrounge up the $400-$500 I need now!

Also I want this to work on the heavier car! (if it works on this it will work on the other cars as well!)

My objective is just to prove it works and get others to do the same thing. My "ultimate" would make me happier than a pig in you know what would be if I got a significant gain. say 45-50mpg

Then you guys repeated my experiment and ALSO got 45+mpg

We would then have some serious teeth with which to pose some serious question to toyota and the other car makers.

If us schlubs can do that for a few hundred dollars in junkyard parts why is it that you can not manage better with your millions of dollars and $24,000 cars!

THAT would be the ultimate outcome!
