Not bad engines but economy figures can be ambitious... My van was driven hard from start to stop and did 350ish miles to the tank... Although it was lugging a lot of tools :y :y

My old 8 valave seems to manage around 470 to a tank, not matter whether it's driven around town to work or on a run.  :-/

It used to do a lot of Idling too... Roadside repair/Breakdown and support for accidents when required so lights, hazards and beacon bar going... Safer to leave it running than the embarrassment of it not starting after ::) ::) ::)

Especially as the local plod liked finding an excuse to take the pi$$... There was a photo of my sign written van on the back of a sign written recovery truck (after shredding a CV joint) doing the rounds of the Trafpol office for about 5 years! ;D ;D ;D

Had a Combo as a company vehicle and when I handed it back at 99k it had only had routine servicing, tyres etc. I would gladly buy one if I needed a van. :y
