32 MPG in a Dodge Sprinter!
Hi group--just got my personal best in my 2004 Sprinter--32.1 MPG on a trip from Lompoc to Glendale, Ca. That comes out to 96 ton-miles per gallon on a 6000 pound rig!
Trip was along U.S. 101 at 55 MPH. Hard to maintain that speed in traffic! Would have been better without the dinner stop. Also, trip was at night. Without electrical load from lights, would have been even better.
Van is long wheelbase high roof with a/c unit on top. 2.7 liter diesel, 5 speed auto trans.
It feels good to get better mileage than many "economy" cars!
