Fuel saving device? Sell the van and replace it with a manual transmission diesel. Even tried and tested methods like carburetor rejetting are going to be useless with that automatic transmission sucking up fuel like a diabetic pig.
Power steering repair... depends on where you are. Parts should be easy to find, since there are Japanese and Korean replacement parts for the E2000... because the Kia Besta is based on the Mazda platform. But from experience, the Japanese replacement parts are better. Or at least they used to be.
