The people selling it have a letter in the window claiming to get 22mpg.
But, they also say they set the cruise control at 60mph and spend the day
in the right hand lane.

I wonder what you'd get if you did the same?

It probably would, especially if it was lightly loaded (meaning no water
in the tanks, and half of the pots, pans and other "stuff" that Mrs.E. has
packed away in it.

Sounds very plausible. My diesel crewcab Chevy gets about 19 at 70 mph.
Only long trip, maybe 90 miles where I did 65 as that was the traffic flow,
I got about 20.5 mpg. Only problem I have heard about the Sprinters is that
a couple of the conversion companies were adding too much weight, and were
exceeding the manufacturers ratings.


I wonder if this: http://tinyurl.com/ypvqny might not be an example of what
you just said.
