* Year: Fuel efficiency standards have improved over the years. Older models will have considerably lower MPG than newer ones.
* Engine: The specific engine (size and type, e.g., gasoline, diesel) dramatically impacts fuel economy. A larger engine will generally get worse MPG.
* Transmission: Automatic or manual transmissions also affect MPG.
* Driving conditions: City driving yields lower MPG than highway driving. Driving style (aggressive acceleration and braking) also impacts fuel economy.
* Vehicle condition: Proper maintenance contributes to better fuel economy.
Therefore, there's no single answer. To find the MPG for a *specific* Ford Econoline E150 van, you should:
* Check the vehicle's sticker: The original window sticker (Monroney label) will list the EPA estimated MPG.
* Consult the owner's manual: This manual will provide fuel economy information for the specific vehicle.
* Use the EPA's FuelEconomy.gov website: You can search for the specific year, engine, and model to find EPA estimates.
Expect MPG figures to range from the low teens (in city driving with older, larger engines) to possibly the high teens or low twenties (in highway driving with newer, smaller engines and good driving habits).
