I will say my other van which is the 4x4 syncro version is getting a motor swap. I'm putting a 2.5 GM ecotec engine in it out of a Pontiac Sky. I actually met a guy in Austin that has the same motor in his van with a automatic and he averages 28mpg.
Meaning once I go back to FL, to finish up the Syncro project that will be the ultimate road trip van. |
I would have guessed no more than 12. Man, I saw a very trick 4x4 class b motorhome tooling down the road recently, it looked ready to go anywhere and set-up camp. I need more room, I'm a 30' footer camper !
