new vito mpg

Anybody got any real world figures for the new vito van. Generally find Merc figures can be taken with a pinch of salt.

My Merc does 19mpg. Glad I only drive 200miles per month!

Yep. Got a 17 plate poverty spec extended wheelbase bought new in June. Journeys are mostly motorway/dual carriageway at 70MPH with 30 miles of A road at one end and a couple of miles of town driving at the other with a few PCs, monitors, boxes of cabling, tools, couple of pairs of ladders in the back and a passenger.

Getting 49-50MPG on the trip computer, full to full filling up suggests more like 47MPG. Even got that on the last job I did which involved taking 1.5hrs to drive from Borehamwood to just near Hyde Park.

Only done 2000 miles so far so the engine is still a bit tight and there may be opportunity for some slight improvement as it frees up a bit and I could drive a bit more economically as well, I'm not doing eco driving to the level I could do.

Hope they have a better engine than the 2.2 in the previous version.
It scrapped many good vans with its crankcase pressure fault.

The one I have couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding. I swear the fully loaded 44 tonne lorries I used to drive accelerated faster.

Still given I didn't buy it, aren't paying to run it and get paid to drive it then that's someone else's problem.

Which engine variant is it?

Given the lack of go I'm assuming the 88BHP 1.6L CDI. Its not a BlueTech.
