Glutton for punishment, 18.7 mpg
Actually I am pretty happy with the mileage of OD, my big van. 18.7mpg. It is my E150 Econoline. We drove it in June, August and this weekend, October. Each with 18 mpg. The van has always had a full back area as we have used it for business. The aero is stock. Mostly I have been making sure that the tires are at 51psi and keeping the mph at 52-53.
This year I have driven it less than 4000 miles. It has 50k miles on it now which isn't bad for a 2005. So far no repairs. Just oil changes, a new set of tires. Oh and a set of front wheel bearings costing a hundred or so.
Probably will fill the tank again in a few months. Most of day to day stuff is on bicycles and our pretty trusty 86 VW, getting 56 mpg.
