* Year of manufacture: Fuel efficiency has improved over the years.
* Engine type: There are different engine options available for the Sprinter, impacting MPG. A gasoline engine will generally have lower MPG than a diesel.
* Cargo weight: Heavier loads drastically reduce fuel economy.
* Driving style: Aggressive driving reduces MPG.
* Terrain: Hilly terrain and city driving lower MPG compared to highway driving.
* Modifications: Aftermarket additions can affect fuel economy.
Therefore, there's no single MPG figure. You'll find a range of EPA estimates depending on the specific van's configuration and year. To get a precise estimate, you should:
* Check the EPA fuel economy website: The official source for fuel economy estimates in the US. You'll need to specify the year and exact model of the van.
* Consult the owner's manual: This will provide the manufacturer's estimated fuel economy for your specific vehicle.
* Look up online reviews: Websites like Edmunds or Kelley Blue Book often include owner-reported fuel economy data.
Expect the MPG to be lower than that of a passenger car. Think in the range of 15-25 MPG, but this is a broad estimate and could be considerably higher or lower depending on the factors listed above.
