fuel costs/ mpg

[Spud]

I was looking at new vans today ,I have a nissan primastar and it does about 32-33 miles per gallon i do 20.000 miles per year which works out a fuel cost of about £4000 per year at current prices what van do you drive and how much mpg does it do as this is going to be a major factor on which van I choose thanks Gary

 

[doug boardley]

you wouldn't want mine then Gary, doing that many miles:yikes:

I have a Transit Connect and i would say i get 40 mpg+ around the doors..and well over that on the motorway...

 

[hillhead]

I drive my '07 trafic and last week i was driving over 100 miles a day and was clearing over 40 MPG for sure.
Mines the 2.0L 115HP

 

[Spud]

what do you drive Doug? do you have a truck?

 

[doug boardley]

L200 Gary, not the most economical vehicle on the road

same as mine Joe but what the average combined mpg ,mine is good on a run too but in town its not so good

57 plate trafic, 115 dci+ as said about 38/40 mpg, slightly more on a run. The nearest motorway is 40 miles away so always town to town driving. Roughly about 650 miles to a tank full. Don't know how much to fill as I top it up every week but can imagine £110 possibly.

Most of my work is local Gary as in 20 miles radius and i have 46,000 on in 4 years.
Mine is easy on local runs too, last week we calculated at 44 MPG on that long haul but i'd say 36-38 on urban combined.
Good tight van mine.

Ford transit 58 plate 85bhp I get about 35 mpg and is a cracking van to drive. With my new L200 pickup with town driving, I'm getting around 22 mpg.

Drive a ford transit 56 plate not sure on mpg but it takes £100 to fill it and get 500 miles from full tank

maybe mines not so bad then...£80 to fill up and get about 480 miles off it

£80 = 57 ltrs. Or 12.55 gallons. 480/12.55= 38.4mpg. That's not bad.

all i know is £20 lasts me a week or 2 in my combo, but 95% of my work is within 2 miles of home. and as there's only 3 sets of traffic lights within 20 miles of me i'm lucky that i spend very little time travelling to and from work

 

[russ1980]

i have a vauxhall astra van 1.7cdti 55 reg i get between 55/60mpg.I stick to about 2000/2200 rpm.

 

[Ajax123]

42000miles last year. approx 43 mpg. Ford Mondeo. Got a brand new Peugeot 3008 deisel automatic now but the fuel tank is only 50 litres so I am at the garage 2 or 3 times a week.........still doing 44mpg though.

I only pay personal fuel though at 11p per mile flat rate.

 

[JMW]

My Astra Van has gone to the big scrap yard in the sky... believe it or not, i'm now using an Audi A6 which hurts a little when going anywhere 2 miles 10 miles it doesnt care it wants fed :S But she is very pretty, like women they look good, smell nice and cost you a fortune to keep.

[turnip]

theres a few boys on here who know what my work-wagon is.......soon to be changed hahahaha

 

[Peter]

Transit Connect TDI, getting around 40ish mpg give or take.

 

[Sean Kelly]

OK, it's not a van, but I've only had my 06 plate Nissan X-trail a few weeks. £78 to fill the tank and and it will go 250 miles. Approx 20 mpg!! It's a petrol auto. I don't put my foot down, but I thought it would do better mileage than that. Other than that it's a great car (apart from the squeaky wheels). Cheers Sean

 

[Gall.B]

Double cab pick-up 25ish MPG, wouldnt swap it very prctical

£20 a month to insure.

Now the bad points.
This is its last MOT. It will never pass another one.

So the end is nigh....
