We have had almost every style and motor of a Caravan and hands down the 2011 up new 3.6 gets the best economy. Just setting the cruise at 65 it will pull 29-30 mpg, 55 goes into the 30's. The next generation will add a 9 speed, direct injection, better areodynamics, and even a hybrid. Still over a year out though and will be more expensive. For that van there is no cylinder deactivation that wouldn't cost more then a newer van and yeild lesser results. They did make these vans with diesels for overseas markets but agian I bet a swap would be much more expensive then just getting a new one. Fleet pricing on a brand new 2015 cargo version is under $20,000, as low as $17,000. Find a used 2011 and it should be 9-13k.
For your van lose the roof rack, max the tires, and keep it under 65.
