And as the original post seemed to talk of eco as in economy not ecology, spending thousands more to save what will amount to hundreds of dollars wouldn't be economical.
Van A driven 10,000 miles a year getting 30 mpg saves $360 a year at today's prices vs van B getting 20 mpg. You will save way more by getting a van with a kitchen and actually using it out on the road vs stopping at restaurants.
