Hello all,

I'm starting my search with very few, but important criteria for what I'm searching for. First, I might as well give up on a couple of points on finding something here in the US. That would be a diesel motor with a manual transmission. But one criteria I'm hoping I can make is getting something that can get 30 mpg. This would have to be with a highway average of about 60 mph. This I'm assuming, I can hit this with something like a Ford Connect or Ram Promaster City. I'm open to which ever can regularly achieve this 30 mpg barrier. Obviously you have to be pretty ginger with gas pedal to do this. I'm hoping this can be done also with pumping up the tires to max on the label too. Any one doing this now? Another would be to get something that has pretty good storage capacity. In other words, get something that is considered a long wheelbase van.

Anyone have any ideas on years and makes to shot for?
