I really like the idea of a Sprinter van but even with rather high mileage they pull in some big dollars. I've seriously considered one as they get pretty good fuel mileage for a truck. My brother has one of the earlier models with the 5-cylinder engine and he gets in the 22-25 MPG range whether he's lightly loaded or heavily loaded. After my house is finished being paid off (about a year from now), I'll sell my 2006 Jeep Liberty CRD (diesel engine) and probably the VW Golf TDI (also a diesel engine) and use it as our sole vehicle. As my wife will no longer be working at that point therefore not needing a car for work, and since I don't drive to work, I think that plan will be a good solution for us.
