We used to have one of those bloody gasoline forward control vans... a Nissan Vanette. Terrible fuel efficiency, and early models tended to overheat in traffic. We were lucky. Ours had a bigger radiator and an extra fan to keep things cool.

One of the problems with compact rear-drive vans is that the extra weight of the prop-shaft and rear differential take a huge toll on fuel economy.
