Currentley doing around 150 miles a day now! and looking to change my pug Panther for something new, what vans do the best ecconomy been looking at the astra van 1.7cdti any thoughts on these?

 

astra are pretty good imo also just sold a doblo jtd that was good on fuel and probably one of the quickest vans out there not the best looking though lol

 

Loving my Caddy.. mines Pd but the SDI supposed to be better still on fuel, great drive aswell.

 

We changed from a x reg Fiat Scudo to a Vauxhall Vivaro long wheel base 115 bhp. The Scudo was as flat as a fart and was crap on fuel (it did have 120k miles though). The Vivaro is 10 times as good but was ten times the price. I get around 35mpg but it gets ragged everywhere and the longest journeys it does is 25 miles.

 

My mates '06 Berlingo 1.6 HDI with 70mph limiter (ex BG) does 50+ urban

 

You mean Pug Partner?

I have a Berlingo 1.4 on LPG, well should say did have, Just put a 1.6 16v in from the saxo VTS, yet to get a different ECU for the gas and will be back to cheap motoring. used to get around 260 miles from a 35 litre fill, will be even better with the longer saxo fd but it still tops at around 110, fun getting there as it is a little long in the tooth, will do 37 in 1st, 65 in 2nd and 95 in 3rd (all calculated )

Thinking of droping the standard 'box back in for better acceleration and a possibly higher top end due to the 1k higher rev limit and it being in the 'zone' but the saxo box will be perfect for motorway runs with you running a lower fd

I know it's a work van and a cheap old shed, but it's my bangernomics, the van had done 179k on it's factory 1.4 8v french engine and was running a bit rough but when a dirt cheap Saxo VTS came up, it just had to be done, I now have a van with a third of the miles on it's engine with a sound body and comfy seats as they were 'adapted' to fit too and it has cost me under £500 including the van and I have enjoyed doing it

 

we just got a 60plate vw caddy at work goes like stink , on friday when we fill up i will report mpg as of today 231miles and gauge is reading just under 3/4 . driven by a 60year old hooligan as well i might add lol (not me)
