Transit, Transporter, Vito, MPG?

[johnnytheboy]

I seen a few pics of vans/campers that people are using as everyday cars, I was wondering what sort of MPG they return?

 

[didicoy]

Ford Transit County 4x4 2.4 diesel about 15 to 20 mpg. depending on load weight and road = Motorway or town driving.

SWB Transit 115 300. I'm getting a combined figure of about 36 - 37 MPG.

kinda related to this subject http://www.forcevans.co.uk/ has caught my eye after perusing autotrader. some low mileage ones and i would imagine - if its all legit- that the police would maintain the fleet quite well.

i read 21mpg for the sprinter

My 2004 VW T5 1.9 TDi has averaged a consistent 40 +/- 2 mpg over the 3 years I've had it. It's my only vehicle so gets used for the whole range of journeys, but is mostly used as a car so is not hauling loads of cargo around. Funnily enough, my 1995 Ford Galaxy 1.9 TDi that it replaced also did a consistent 40 mpg!

My Ssangyong Rexton 2.7TDi has the same engine as a MB Sprinter van, and gets around 32-35mpg in 2WD mode driven sensibly, if that's any help!

Toyota hiace 2005, i've had it from new, & it gives me 38mpg. Its done 121k, it has been my dog van all its life, but now i've retired, i've become a gardener so its my gardening van.

Hey, I have a VW T5 1.9tdi an im getting 44mpg on average an just over 600miles on a tank. I do a lot of motorway driving an have found if I stick to 60-65mph I get about 200miles more a tank compared to those T5's in the outside lane...! Which I did for the first few months an wondered why I was only getting 400 miles to a tank...

2007 VW Transporter 2.5 130 T5 2.8 SWB panel van.

I get over 40mpg on long sensible runs and 700 miles on a tank, 600 if I'm doing 80 mph. Locally getting 38 average. Tank costs £100 .

VW T5 based Campervan. About 36mpg but do either very short local journeys near home or long motorway journeys down to the South of France. I watch the revcounter like a hawk and stay in fifth year as much as possible. I try hard to keep speed down to 70mph and check tyres are hard as consistent with safety. Minimalist as to kit after of years of lightweight camping and notice that, like me, the van goes better with a lighter load. Headwind drops mpg.
