Hey all. I haven't posted much on here for a long time, since I was trying to crack 50mpg with my pizza delivery Civic. I've hit 48, so I'm getting close.

But.

We bought a van. '02 Ram Van 3500 extended. Basically the biggest van we could find. And it gets 12 miles to the gallon. We're planning on using it for road trips and such, so any degree closer to 20mpg will be fantastic.

I finally got the interior set up mostly how we want it (fixing the rear heater/ac was a bear); so now I can work on fuel economy.

Currently I'm working on a giant air dam and side skirts. Other ideas welcome. It's got all the "bad" stuff: automatic, 4.10, the big V8, etc.
