38 MPG in a minivan, factory VW minivan.

May 5, 2008 · No Comments

You know I love my volkswagens. And I really do not like minivan. But I may be convinced to get one of these seriously ugly vehicles. The little grocery getter hauls 7 and gets upper 30’s for MPG. Now I know it’s using a diesel, but seriously…can someone in Detroit at one of the major automakers take a peek at what is happening in Europe with cars?

Sure diesel is 12%-55% higher per gallon, but this van gets 30%-50% better mileage than compareable - still nets 5%-25% savings.
