06 freestar-loaded workvan- 24.5mpg

you have to understand, tjhis is my daily driver workvan, it is so full of parts the rear bottoms out when I put an extra 100 pouinds in the back. Nothing special, stock 4.2L ford freestar. But on the highway, straight highway, gets some decent mileage, best to date was 800km on 80L which is about 24.5us mpg, not trying. not hypermiling, in fact the opposite. 75 mph on the freeway, jackrubbit sprinting. got it on a week when I drove London to Windsor twice, downtouwn to downtown, about 110 miles each way. I was impresed, my stupid range rover hse cant beat 18 hypermiling and taking it easy and empty.

grill blocks and bellypans reduce aero drag alot,, could help you out above 45 mph, cheap and easy to do also, look at the how-to's to see how to do them.
