It would be helpful if owners of either Vans or Wagons with the 3.5 EB and 3.31 rear end (with or without LS) could post actual MPG numbers as we all start to learn the limits of this 'EcoBeast' set up. [just read someplace that Ford got trademark/copyright protection for this name] For now let's include all lengths and roof heights, using the Transit's computer MPG and/or hand-calculated figures. Running totals for the life of the vehicle, and for various discreet trips will be helpful, for those so inclined, in my opinion. I will chime in when I get my Wagon in the Spring. For now, it will be interesting to see how other folks are doing. Thanks PS -- Edit -- It will be very helpful if you can update your signature (via the User CP at the top right) to include all pertinent information, so that it is not necessary for others to ask about the details of your Transit. I have a 250 the low roof extended, 3.5 with the 3.31 gears.

It is also Blue (which has 10 more hp than white )... Now for the fuel economy. Download Free Fluid Flow And Heat Transfer In Wellbores Pdf Creator more. I run snow tires and have been experiencing low temps. This combination is costing me between 10-15%. I did manage to get 19 MPG on the Interstate doing about 68 MPH. Come spring I can see this van getting 22 MPG... Rmcnelly [low roof 130' WB Wagon] on 12/6: 'Took a rainy road trip up to the mountains and filled up after 420 miles or so.

The lie-ometer was showing 20.4 mpg for 2/3rds of the trip when I was keeping the speed at 67mph climbing from sea level up past the Blue Ridge Parkway. The last 1/3rd of the tank included cruising at 74mph much of the time still climbing in elevation, and some city driving. When I filled up, the lie-ometer indicated 19.3 mpg but hand calculated came out to 17.88 mpg. The speedo is very accurate compared to my gps, but I did not check the odometer. The displayed cruise control speed appears off by 1 mph.' And on 12/13: 'Put 220 miles on her after filling up yesterday afternoon and driving out to see an Antique store today. Did not exceed 67mph on the highway, had some city driving, and the dash showed 20.5mpg when I got home.

I had about 20 city miles on it (nothing over 40mph) before we left this morning, and was showing 17.5mpg (even with the warmup this morning as I scraped off the frost). It will easily beat the city mpg estimate.' Other owners of recent 3.5/3.31 deliveries have indicated they will post MPG when they can. I have over 2600 miles on mine now and Tripmeter 2 is showing 18.2 mpg for the last 1900 miles (probably 60-70% highway miles). I'm just going to let Tripmeter 2 keep a running total (except it won't include the first 700 miles or so). Normal load is just me and one passenger. I removed the 3rd and 4th row bench seats (heavy!) last weekend but still have the 2nd row 2 passenger bench and the 3rd row jump seat installed.

The last tank started off really bad. I got caught in some tough city driving, lots of lights and delays, and not exceeding 35 mph. It was showing less than 14 mpg until I went for a 200 mile drive on New Years Day. That didn't go so well either as I couldn't break 18 mpg running 60 mph into a headwind. Made up for it on the return leg but the damage was done. Still, the tank ended with 18.2 mpg.

I've ceased referring to the dash display of mpg as the 'Lie-ometer', since I don't believe the gas pumps are well calibrated, and the only constant measurement of fuel used is the Transit's self report. The sweet spot in town is running it just over 40 mph with very light throttle. Thanks Rick for keeping track of the Tripmeter 2 figure. If 20 MPG is an upper limit, generally speaking, I will be a happy camper when I get my Wagon in the Spring.
