2005 Sprinter Owner
While my 2005 T1N Sprinter now has no mechanical issues (thanks to this forum contributors for advice) my fuel economy does not seem right...
-- Using OBDII tool i see fuel economy at about 11MPG average, empty, state highway driving in TX (mostly 70MPH). Why would it be this low? I have seen feedback from other owners showing as much as 27MPG.
-- Another thing that worries me is is that the van may not be shifting to OD (5th gear in the NAG1 tranny). Engine runs at 3000RPM while driving 70MPH, flat road, empty - that seems too high. I was always told: best not to run diesel engines over 2500RPM for long periods of time. How to tell if it is shifting to OD?
