My 2003 Sprinter gets around 21-22 mpg (and it's the long/tall version) which literally blows the mind of everyone I ever tell that fact to. I think they ask with the intention of hearing a much lower number...

I think the scariest thing on that engine are the $700 injectors (five of them) that start to leak after 300k miles or so, if not taken well care of. My previous engine had that problem and there was lots of coking around the seals. Lame. So I put in a rebuilt engine that cost $6000. Woo.

Still, the vehicle runs like a champ, and has an insane amount of power.

I'm way into vans with diesels. The big Ford Transit that's coming here with an Ecoboost to begin with will show up with a diesel in 2014.
