I would love to get a Sprinter van like that. I don't ever park in the garage either, and my Rondo gets about the same mileage on the highway, around 25-27.
But I don't think it would fly with the Boss unless my Rondo was to require something like a new engine, or heaven forbid it was totaled. Actually if it were to require a new engine she'd probably tell me to get out there and fix it myself since I do so much other maintenance on pretty much everything that we have, cars, bikes, plumbing, electrical, paint, etc, etc ,etc.
