2500 MB Sprinter van 2.73m [8.95ft] high, 1.99m [6.52ft] wide, 7.3m [23.9ft] long,w/3L turbo diesle V-6
First tank 73L/765km = 9.54L/100km [24.6 mpg]
Average speed 68km/h [42.5mph], temp 20*C

What this illustrats is that a tall van with a frontal area of 5.44 m2 [58.5 sq ft] can get better than the fleet average of 11.3L/100km [20.8 mpg]

What a sad comentary on the average vehical on the road today.
