[QUOTE="Mark Waker, post: 27436, member: 572"] Re: Full-size van preference? Our 2500 shc sprinter (thats the hight top, mid size) has averaged over 23 mpg in the 5.5 years we had owned it. Cost of ownership to date, 1 set pads and rotors at 72,000, 4 tires at 75,000 and 2 sets of wiper blades. Compared to previous vans, an E150 Econoline (V8) 16 mpg and a new transmission and a Chevy 3500 with a 10' cube, the Sprinter easily justified the $12k premium. Better turning radius, visibility, build quality (though not as good as the Euro versions with the 3 pointed star), but it is not great in snow, so we leave a couple of subs and the rigging trunk in it.
