Quick Blog on Fuel Economy

Let's discuss fuel mileage comparisons between two popular vans: the Ford Transit 1500 (short wheelbase, low top) and the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 (long wheelbase, high top). Both vans have similar upfits and have been driven in Houston traffic, often together.

The Ford Transit is showing a fuel efficiency of 16.4 MPG, while the Sprinter, despite its larger size and greater payload capacity, is achieving 20.5 MPG. It's important to consider that while the Sprinter may come with a higher price tag and operates on diesel, the potential savings on fuel could be significant given current fuel prices.

Before making a decision based solely on the initial investment, it's wise to calculate the long-term costs.

Additionally, a comparable Sprinter (short wheelbase, low top) is averaging around 26 MPG when empty.
