Sprinter van CPM's

60MPH · Aug 18, 2009

Please be honest, I would like to know what owners that still have a van payment what your CPM is. I am doing a cost analysis. please list your lowest and highest. Lets use 2.59 a gallon for the low end and 3.99 a gallon for the high end. Hope it does not go this high again but it probably will

. I am only looking for real world #'s please don't guess and I am only looking for those that keep there maintenance up on there truck. Of course please do not add food or anything that you can not write off in tax's to your answer. If you do not want to post it publicly please send me a PM I will not release it to anyone. Thanks in advance!!

p.s. if you could list if you are leased or not leased it would be helpful. You do not have to say what company you are leased to.

Phew..that leaves me off the hook...Mine is Paid in Full as of last month...my CPM has dropped greatly...

I would exclude anything older then 06....as the 5 cylinder is a much better fuel saver....the 6 cylinders are less fuel efficient...

Keep in mind my MPG is approx. 24 the new ones depending are getting 19-22

that is why you should exclude 06 and older.....the new ones are much more expensive to maintain maybe Piper can chime in?

Piper will chime in with numbers after he has a nap......and drives to Tennessee. But Piper will chime in.

I can tell you it's a penny a mile just to pay for the oil changes on the engine alone.

Ken, what does 28MPIG convert to for a US gallon?

Superman had a cape and look what he could do? I figured those things had to have magic powers or something....otherwise why in sam hell would anyone wear them?

Unit Conversions

according to this converter it is about 23.5 in real A-merican gallons.

enter 23 into the u.s mpg and press the button. thanks to the tdiclub for that page.

I like the topic of this thread but do have a question. When including a fixed cost such as loan payment woudnt the cpm vary a lot depending on miles run? Without knowing average miles it would make a valid comparison tougher right?
