Transit MPG?
« on: 03 January 2008, 11:49:35 »
is 25 MPG a reasonble expection from a Ford Transit SWB/MWB?

Its the slightly older shape one, not the TDCi engine.

Delivering bed and working out the fuel costs based on 25mpg.

I will of course drive it like a Transit should be  ;)

I used to get 15 - 20mpg out of my 2.5 diesel (non turbo) tranny, but it was heavily laden, and was gunned absolutely everywhere. Also, it was started at 8am in morning, and turned off at 5pm, usually just left idling if I was in with a customer...

If its a white Transit, they seemingly go faster so consumption may be slightly less ;D ;D

Yep.

Because the damn van rental places are closed on sunday and close at 12 on a saturday, having to get father tunnie to rent a van this afternoon. Then i will have to get up at 6am tommowo  :o :o

And do the return run, and be back before 12.

I only hope the van works when i get there, as my dad has not driven a manual since 1996!  ::)  :o
