My 4600 mile avg is 25.2 mpg. That's idling, Toronto traffic, and border sitting included.
THAT'S fantastic!!!!!

you've done 4600 miles in that thing already?....
Yeah I'm happy. 07 Sprinter 170 wb DPF delete and ecm economy tune.
Is there a difference in emissions between Sprinters designed for America and Canada? Was that DPF the only exhaust emissions equipment? (EGR, smog pump)

Same equipment. I bought it in Michigan (and the egr is electronically clamped shut too). Zero smoke, 4 mpg better, and longer oil life due to it not being crapped upon. Take that, EPA.
We all want clean air, but just how clean does the air we breath really need to be? Air quality today has to be much cleaner than it was prior to the 1970's when there were no catalytic perverters, DPF, EGRs, DEF, smoke stack scrubbers and the rest of the air pollution abatement devices. In the end, if Scott's Sprinter gets 4 mpg better without some of the emission stuff, wouldn't that equate to cleaner air? Less fuel burned, less crude refined, less crude shipped, less air pollution.Zero smoke, 4 mpg better, and longer oil life due to it not being crapped upon. Take that, EPA.
Do you know which engine? Don't they have 2 engine choices for 2014?
I didn't ask what engine. I figured it must be the turbo - diesel 4 cylinder. It did say something like bluetec or blue banana on the rear door... blue something...
I JUST talked to an owner/operator of a 2014 $printer in the yard and he said his AVERAGE mpg is 20.45.

Westy..you jack the tire pressure UP any...or you still running factory specs because of warranty?
Funny you asked... actually, another little idiosyncrasy of this van is, while the maximum tire pressure listed on the tire says 83 psi, if I don't run at least 85 psi, the stupid warning light on the dash comes on! Fairly common I've heard.
I have driven her I around the midwest enough now to say confidentally that anyone with a 159" 3500 extended driven as though they are own the truck and are paying the gas bill for expediting in, should get about 20 miles per gallon on average.
