I don't think there is a stock answer. There are too many variables with engine sizes, van length, weight, etc....


Hopefully we get a wide variety of responses though.

Not every driver or van is the same either, one might last 500K one might not, kinda of a hard question to answer.
Maybe we need to be comparing service costs
Oil change
brake job
tune up
transmission service
30K service
things like that

30% of gross for fuel.
Oil/air filter/fuel filter every 15k 75 bucks
Tires at 100k 800bucks
450 miles min per tank 15@30 gal

My spreadsheet tells me it's about 51cpm with van payment and 36cpm without, based on 60k miles per year. At 80k miles per year it's about 44 and 32. Agreed, the variables make it tough to give numbers to anyone else since no two situations are the same.
