Any way a bread van can get 30mpg?

Maybe with the engine shut off and rolling down a hill.

Well, it’s diesel so that’s a big plus. Chassis probably doesn’t weigh too much either.

Depends on the type of bread

The aluminum body and 4bt say yes, but the aerodynamics, high rolling resistance, short gearing and 4 speed non-overdrive say no.

no idea, but diesel and Aluminum body mayb e, but the wind resistance alone makes me wonder if possible.

People that post on Craigslist need grammar lessons. That’s part of the reason why I still don’t think it’s a legitimate website.

Whole grain? Not a chance

Maybe if kept under 40 MPH and accelerating with a featherweight foot it might reach mid-20s MPG. But, not even LLVs get that much fuel economy.

Diesel, top gear, flat ground at about 40mph and it might be possible for short distances.

Or mods -- with enough bread, anything is possible.

Sure, rolling downhill. Engine coasting in neutral.

Maybe at 25mph on a flat road with no stop and go

Yeah no problem. With a modern diesel hybrid drivetrain.

LLV’s also aren’t diesel with an adequate amount of torque to not stress the engine.
