Remember it is hard to compete on an economy basis with some that live in the south. Temps play a huge factor.

Yes, not only does the temp have an effect on rolling resistance and engine warm up, but the fuel is changed seasonally as well.
Don't know actual weight, have not weighed it. That weight is from published specs.
This van does have an OEM on dash L/100kms indicator. Its tank to tank values are in light green on the graph below.
Tires are at stock pressure as of yet. Will be soon switching to winter tires with the change of weather.
For the most part I am base-lining the vehicle in its initial miles.
Here is the tank to tank mileage so far. The low (high?) spikes are from short distance trips.
