This van (While still active as of 24-Feb-2016) is no longer fuel-tracked on Ecomodder and we stopped tracking it in late August 2014. We found a fuel leak and I thought it would be fine to just hang up MPG tracking at the same time.
Usually we got in the neighborhood of 22-26 MPG with the roof-rack off and 45 PSI in the tires hot. I'm sure it could (And still can) get 28-31 HWY as we got about 28.5 on one tank which was mostly the same trip and mostly HWY.
Old description:
3.0 Litre Van with 20-Gallon tank, Run on 87 Grade Gas with up to 10% Ethanol unless otherwise noted in fuel logs and miles traveled are according to the on-board Trip meter. I can go 400 Miles on a tank easily, Summer-time; But winter-time, It might be better to not go that far.
Driven by My Father and I, Mostly either with just him or with both of us.
MPG Figures in the Trip logs are a bit optimistic as the ScanGauge is not calibrated, But they're not more than 1 MPG too high.
