Probably 15-20 if you baby it…
You’ll be hard pressed to find something that rivals the transit connect for mpg.

Wait, I know what you need. Toyota Previa AWD turbo.
The vehicle would be used mostly for residential, and some large
commercial, with occasional route work.

Did they make a Previa turbo? That would be cool. I’m a Toyota guy myself, but I sort of regret getting a Tundra as my work vehicle. It’s a great truck, but doesn’t have quite enough ‘creature comfort’ and elbow room for my style.

At the end of the day its about personal preference, I have used a sedan, a station wagon, a van and a pick up over the past years.
I don’t like the pick up as if you don’t have a hard cover over it then you have to bring all your stuff in and out each day, to prevent rain or theft, they are the easiest to get your gear out of.
a sedan is just too small, once you have a decent set of gear.
A van is good to store everything and you can set up some sweet set ups, but for me they generally have less power and go slower, there so much space if you set up shelving and stuff gets rocked around, it can be hard to find things.
I used a station wagon for years, then went though everything else and went back to a station wagon, with a trailer for Power washing and gutters and other add-ons that require the extra room, in the station wagon I can comfortably carry everything I need for cleaning of any windows, I guess I prefer it due the fact it quick and easy to drive and most of all I don’t need to pay for a second vehicle 1 for work 1 for family.

Can we see a picture of your station wagon
I use an SUV and a trailer. That way I can drop the trailer at a job site and have a vehicle to run around or bid other jobs while crew is working. Also the advertising on the side of my 12’ trailer has gotten me a lot of work. And on the weekends I can unhitch the trailer, park it by my house for advertising and use my SUV for recreation!

yea i had a previa with turbo it was junk. and i love toyota and currently own one.
there’s a driveshaft coupler that goes bad and its a pain
Everything in the back is locked into place it rarely moves even when I zip through traffic
Clean rags, microfibers, scrims and towels on the back seat , so kids can still sit in the car.
I really should build a frame in the back so I have more storage options but this works as long as I stack it away properly.
Edit: oh and I have ladder racks on the roof…

But the accessory driveshaft wasn’t unique to the turbo model, iirc. It was one of the few major complaints against that van, but a necessary evil for the ‘mid-engine’ configuration.
The n.a. model was a real dog, from what I’ve read, and didn’t do any better for fuel economy than the turbo.
Now this would make for a sweet power washing rig:

I’d get a caravan/town country/thingy. Junk yards are full of them so you can get parts super cheap AND it’ll hold a TON of equipment, ladder rack, + 3 team members. Plus they’re easy to find and cheap to buy.
vw bus is awesome someone here had one for biz
