    how shopping for van stuff ends in detainment>?

    I am not sure how the law in Virginia works but in NY you don't need to leave the store to be arrested for shoplifting all you need to do is show intent. The changed the law a few years ago to protect security guards at retail establishments. Sent from my MB865 using EO Forums

    Cube Van MPG

    Thanks for the advice everyone. Chef I have not removed the bumper and ramp yet but am planning on it this weekend. I know that both are extremely heavy and arent helping my cause any. I guess I will do the roof fairing first and continue to look into switching to 3:73 gears.

    Cube Van MPG

    Ok now I am really confused. Are you saying swapping the gears might not give me a mpg increase? So it might just be better to not spend the extra money and keep it the way it is?
