The new ones probably are near the 50 mark, I was very disappointed with mine when I got it on the mpg, for a small van it uses a fair drop of fuel, same as my ranger almost, but, it is always loaded, and my lads don't hang around, I think with less load and careful driving you could improve it a little, but certainly no where near 50, I doubt you would get 40 if I am honest, been a while since I bothered to work it out though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
