Good luck, I have no great insight to share for your project.

Would it be feasible to use a different vehicle pulling a trailer that contains your cargo?

26 MPG is pretty good considering the size of vehicle. To spend half as much on fuel you'd need to double efficiency. I'd be looking for ways to go electric if that's at all possible, since in my market it's about 1/3rd the cost per mile driven, and no oil changes.
