they spelt available wrong on my last van and i drove round with it for 6 months until someone said, do you know youve got a spelling mistake on your van, and i was like "yeh yeh ladderless" hes like "no theyve spelt available wrong"

theyd spelt it "availble" lol, i never noticed, no one did actually bar that one person

Very smart.  I reckon you did well for £350 + VAT.  It puts mine to shame.  I have a black van (Trafic) and plain white lettering.  It has all the relevant details on it but is not so pleasing to the eye.  I'm not changing it now though.  I have the van for another two years (until the loan is paid) so I won't be reviewing signage until I get another (assuming anyone is left to borrow the money from by then).

Dave

well in the old van people always used to come over and ask id of said at least 1 -2 a day, and i reguraly get phone calls and few enquires off my website

been using this van for about a month and it has been quieter alot quieter actually, and i seriously think its because my van wasnt sign written, there was a post the other day about is it really worth being sign written, and i can say hand on heart from my experience... yes it is

I was going to say that.

I find it's just under half the figure I put in(x10), if you know what I mean.
That's how I work it out.

eg:  £10 just under 50 miles.
       £20 just under 100 miles.
       £50 just under 250 miles.

So for £100 I'd expect just under 500 miles, probably 430ish.

I reckon if you were mainly motorway at 70mph in 6th  you'd get miles more though.

Mine's the  2.0, 115bhp model by the way.

is that seriously all you get? i can honestly get at least 600 miles easily outta £100. and i dont exaclty drive it slow.

even my mate said he gets 600-700 miles out of his vivaro bt van

you lot must have seriously heavy right feet lol

I do set the trip meter in mine when I fill up.  I could probably get to 500 miles on each tankful with a tiny bit to spare but normally I will top up before 450.  At £1.25 a litre (for instance), 90 litres would cost £112.50.  500 miles is the absolute top I've risked from a tankful and then on a longer run when I've been away up north and the water tank has been empty.  Normally, like most W/Cs, I do shorter hops with a fair bit of stop/start and with a fair load on.  My fuel usage is probably increased by having a ladder and roof bars on top though.  I've seen estimates that this can impact by as much as 20%.
So if I was doing longer runs, if I carried as little water as I could get away with, and if I carried no ladders or roof bars, it's just possible that I might get 600 miles from a tankful (at £112.50).  I do not drive hard either.  My Trafic is the 1.9tdi with 110dci.  600 miles per £100 does seem to be pushing it to me.  Maybe this was calculated before fuel prices started escalating?

Just to add that, apart from when I'm building up for a gear change, I try to keep the revs at 2000 or slightly above (a little more when loaded).
