No argument here Frank. I know the diesel drive train is responsible for most of the efficiency. I've had an idea in my head for a while for creating a Trailer Tail type boat tail for my van, to preserve access to the rear doors, which is a requirement for me. It will probably never get done though due to time available, and business looks.
