Pick-ups are often blamed by some angry watermelon-environmentalists, but are not really that bad. Having the open cargo space, they're easier to load some stuff such as furniture pieces without having to waste time disassembling them.

Double the mileage of a Windstar? Maybe if it had a diesel engine...

I've already seen a Windstar converted to Diesel and its mileage in a worst-case scenario was 22MPG stuck in heavy traffic, and about 35 in highway (not attempting to hypermile, with the A/C on and not babying the throttle pedal).
