2018 Mercedes Sprinter 3500 4x4 (dually). 3.0 L diesel V6. 15.1L/100 km overall since about my 3rd fill when I started logging my fuel and mileage in my phone notes section. That's off the odometer and recorded L at my fuel stops. If I discover an additional jerry can of diesel in storage I might have to modify my math very slightly. For something 9'4" tall with a good load of tools and inventory I think that's reasonable for combined city & highway, it sure beats the pants off of my old gas Savana. It also has some winter idling, but nothing excessive. The thing has a factory diesel-fired coolant heater (an Eberspacher) so that had some fuel burn time in there as well.
A recent highway trip to Fairmont for a job with a jump down to Cranbrook for materials netted 13.46L/100 km average over the 947.9 km trip. Driving the speed limit or +5 km/h for the most part.
On a related note, does anyone have a good fuel logging app that they utilize? I'm aware of GasBuddy but haven't signed up yet. Looking for user feedback before entering all of my data.
