The Ford Transit consumption figures:

I can see a lot of unprejudiced people who are going to like their new Ford vans - especially those people who pay for the fuel.


The "transit connect" is a small van, entirely different from the "normal" transit
Yep I was getting right around 20-25l/100km, it was also equipped with a roof rack with ladder and strobe. Also it had the giant mirrors upgrade. Climate here is also colder, at -30C they were real gas pig!

The fleet consisted mostly of dodge caravan and econoline, even the caravan with the ladder on top would only get 14-16l/100km, these things really destroyed the aerodynamics.

I never got the chance to try a transit connect, but I'm sure these surpass the econoline especially in handling, some friends still working there told me they preferred the transit connect over the caravan because it drives and handle pretty much like a normal car.
