    How would any of is possibly know without knowing manufacture make of each as every model engine would have different consumption. But guessing its a Renault 1.5dci your going from to a 1.8 ford there would be a bit in it. But you need to tell us the model years to get an more accurate figure. Kangoo or megane for the Renault ? / focus or transit connect for the ford ?

    It depends on the van itself.
    Weight, aerodynamics etc.

    All things being equal, you shouldn't see a major difference.

    There wouldn't be a whole lot between the two of them. I suppose they would both be doing 35-40mpg. The kangoo might be doing a bit more but you shouldn't see too much of a difference. Do you know what your getting out of the kangoo at the moment mpg wise ?

    Thanks for that Bpmull, no I dont know what I'm getting at the moment, really I just wanted to know if there would be a big rise and I know there are a lot of factors at play. Once its not going to be a huge difference I'm happy so thanks again for your reply.
