the 3500 one ton , 5.8 engine 14 to 15 mpg.

Thanks. I was hoping to hear higher mpg. I'm getting 16.5-17 in my 6.0 Chevy one ton and was hoping the Nissan would match or better it.

I have a feeling that most of the vans of this size are going to have fuel economy in about this range. My 3/4 ton Chevy, running the 5.8 engine, is getting anywhere between 13.5 and 15.8 depending on how I drive it and which way the wind is blowing.

And 19 mpg in a Sprinter is not much better, when you factor in the cost of diesel being so much more than gas ...

C'mon Ford Transit. 3.5 turbo should get good mileage if driven properly.

Com'on Scott, it's a Ford, you know Fords fuel millage is in the tank.(no pun intended).

Steady, that Eco boost engine is very efficient. I think Steady will be impressed.

Yesterday I saw a Nissan dealer at Burns harbor advertising them at 0% interest and 1 dollar under invoice. Doesn't say much for sales.

Well our 5.7 gas Dodge Quad cab...at 65 gets 18 mpg...eco-boost...does that count?

I think the F150 is rated at 24 mpg.

Sales are down because the Nissan NV is too short for most costumer's needs.

Our local dealer is leasing them for about 400 a month with unlimited mileage. Too bad they only hold 2 skids.

I wonder when they get more mileage on the engine if they won't get better.What about a economy tuner on them?

My Nissan Quest van get's about 18 at about 72 and 19.5 around 73 or 74 mph.

is that supposed to be 63 or 64 for the better mileage?

Zero3nine where is your local dealer? A friend of mine is looking to get an NV.

Just talked to a member on here today...don't know why he hasn't responded....Now 25,000 miles on his Nissan....running great, sets nice on the road......averaging about 16.8 mpg at 63 mph....over the period.

Why are they too short? They hold 2 skids, same as a CV and they are 73" high....you can double stack where applicable...

Well i doubt Load 1 would sign one with them only being able to hold 2 skids on the floor....even with the height....
