E350 gas mileage
Doing some research on vans before I buy.
What kind of real life gas mileage can I expect out of a 2007 e350 with a 5.4 and a 3.55 gear. I will not be towing. Im drive mainly on flat highway.
thanks

I've got a spreadsheet which tracks my gas mileage for the lifetime of the van (59k miles) and just updated it--overall average of 16.4. Lots of city tanks in there, and this winter, mileage has really stunk using Michigan winter gas.
With an E350 and the 5.4, I'd guess you could count on 16-18 on straight freeway runs, depending on your load and your speed, and assuming summer gas.

thanks for the responses guys. An e-250 would be perfect but they must not make it anymore, in the club wagon. My problem is that an e150 is a little lighter than i wanted and a e350 is heavy for my needs. I thought about a e150 with overload springs or air bags. thanks again

My 1995 E250 SuperVan was getting 10 MPG, dropped to 8 in the city over the winter.
Found a leaky filler tube and a plugged filter - hopefully it improves.....

The million mile van guy says he averages 15-18....

The blurb on the mileage is on his little message board. I would say that his sample mileage is about as extensive as could be possible; he's run a *few* tanks thru that van, for sure....
