Dodge never sold a diesel van, and I don't believe you could get the 1 tons with an overdrive trans. So they got crummy mileage. Why they never sold a van with the old 12v cummins is beyond me, they would have sold so many. Your van also didn't have a 6 speed manual or a bunch of the other toys mine will have either, but like I said, a lofty goal. If I can match Aziza's 38mpg I will be tickled pink.
