I have been following the discussions on Fuel Economy, and Diesel engines, and all the other ways to save $ and Fuel. I am wondering what else can be done on a stock Vanagon. I drive a 86 GL myself. I was wondering how hard it would be to hybridize a vanagon. Add a little helper motor/generator like in an honda insight? Could you take a synchro, and put the motor/generator up front? What other Ideas could be done? Just puting my .02 out there. Matt
