TOMO 26,240 Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 The smallest lightest one,, proberbly a corsa type,, my corsa car yoused to get around 50 to 55, I have a berlingo,, and it gets around 40,,,, to 45 ,, but no more,, and I would hazard a gues that the newer it is the better Quote Link to post Share on other sites
04fox8 168 Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 That could depend on a lot of things, How old it is, Is it f**ked, Has it been f**ked with in the past, How hard you drive it Weight you've got in it....the list goes on. You might find one that is 'reputedly' more efficient on the fuel, but then if it breaks down, the bits to repair may be more than those for a slightly thirstier van. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,775 Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 You would want roof bars for the rods but a fiesta sport van will give you 50-60mpg and quite quick with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GRAM71 29 Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 usually drive a tranny, had a vw caddy last summer while mine was being repaired and got barely 40mpg from it, if i floored it, it got thirstier than my tranny, best i had was an astra van, 1.7 diesel non turbo, got 50 plus from that. failing that an escort 55 van should do the trick, check for rust though.
