Forever I keep hearing IT IS A BOX, your never get good MPG out of a box.
YET Chevy in 2019 made a full sized Express Van, long wheel base 3500 155" with a 4.30V6 Direct injected, 8 speed:
AND it is officially on the window sticker listed as its MPG of 19 City and 29 Highway.
It is a brick sitting high on its wheels and get 29 highway.
There is no real Aerodynamics on it.

That's pretty bad fuel efficiency compared to let's say a Mercedes Sprinter, long and tall version.
You can drive them with 6-7L/100 km when going slow because of the rather efficient engine and super tall gearing.
However these high cda's realy bite you at speed, when I set cruise to 160 km/h I usualy see ~18L/100km
