im just curious how you guys are doing with these vans. whats the norm MPG?

 

When it was new and didn't have the ladder rack, it was doing 23 to 24 mpg.
Now it has a pneumatic ladder rack and ruined the aerodynamics it had going for it. In the winter when it was idling a little more, I was getting 17.5 maybe, and now the weathers nicer and i don't idle at trains anymore, its right around 20 most of the time. Thats fully loaded with parts and equipment for HVAC, 2 #50 recovery tanks, 4 #30 refrigerant tanks, 6 motors, recovery machine, nitrogen, oxy/ace tanks, torch, etc. Lots of weight. so not bad really.
