Give it a year or two and we will see.... OVM myself and a few others will STILL be driving our then million mile sprinters

I'm anxious to see how they pan out , and how this 4 cylinder sprinter holds up too!

The floor length is 14' 3" on the extended body. I figure 12' for 3 skids and 2' for my comfort stuff. I've been talking to 3 different local dealers and every one of them will sell me a Transit for dealer invoice, give me the $500 rebate Ford is offering and a $1,500 contractors credit package to outfit the van or take the discount off. That comes in about $4,000 - $5,000 below what the window sticker shows. Mine will have a $40K sticker and I'll pay right between $34-35K.
Replacing a complete engine resets the clock IMO.Give it a year or two and we will see.... OVM myself and a few others will STILL be driving our then million mile sprinters

That is something I have been wondering about. How many miles would you expect to get out of these gas engines, and the cost to replace them? Is there any info out there on this?
I stated what others have told me nothing more. The one driving slower was getting good mpg.

If a driver of mine was only getting 17 miles per gallon in one of my Promasters, I would kick him in the arse as hard as I could and fire him at the same time

A very good question and point.
People fill up, get on the highway and drive hundreds of miles and then fill up again, and that's the mileage they report. If you want accurate mile per gallon, take the odometer reading from the most recent full up, and then divide that by the total amount of fuel that's been put into the tank from the very first gallon.

You are awful confident in a vehicle that is not even proven itself past 200,000...we will see...also...21 mpg. Seems odd....

I find the fill to fill method, over a long period of time to be the most accurate. When the pump shuts off I round up to the next dollar. If it is over xx.50 I'll go to the next dollar and then add one more. There may be some slight variations but after more than 62,000 fills I feel my mpg figures are pretty accurate.
What's the difference as long its the cumulative miles and gallons at the end of the vehicles life?
The difference is, one is cumulative miles and gallons at the end of the vehicle's life, and the other is highway mileage only.
People tend to report their "average" MPG after they've filled up and near-immediately gotten on the Interstate and driven highway miles until they need fuel again, and report the result of that fillup. If they've idled much, or driven in heavy traffic, city traffic especially, the just ignore that and only deal with highway mileage.
