Getting ready to take delivery of 2 Sprinters. Am I correct that most here are averaging around 20mpg loaded? Ours are to be longest single wheel with tallest roof option. 6cyl models

We have 2003 sprinter 140 high roof 2500 and I would have to beat it hard to get down to 20 MPG .
however I do have a compression leak at injector on number 1 so i'm down there around 20 right now probably below .

Make sure you get the 170" ext. They are 18 inches longer for about 1000 dollars more.

You should get 22ish empty and 17ish loaded.

We get well over 20 in our old Sprinter (2006).

on this review they only got 11 MPG out of V6 diesel . I don't know how they could manage to only get 11 mpg out of a sprinter diesel. The difference maybe the V6 diesel .
I am not a fan of any double breasted diesel for on-road applications unless its a big V CAT for heavy hauling

I would pay attention to fuel millage with the V-6 sprinters should be easy enough to catch the one who is stomping on the hammer .
V diesel's make a lot of torque and will cost you $$$$ if you stomp on the hammer.

We're getting close to 20mpg out of our 2013 3500 Sprinter. The 2500 should do better.
