Why is the fuel economy of my Ford Transit Custom not as good as expected?

I recently purchased a Ford Transit Custom and I'm disappointed with its fuel economy. I chose this van specifically because of its advertised fuel efficiency, but it seems to be using more fuel than expected. What could be causing this issue and how can I improve my fuel economy?

Hi Jack, I understand your concerns about fuel economy. There are a few factors that can affect the fuel efficiency of your Transit Custom. Things like driving habits, vehicle maintenance, and the type of fuel you use can all play a role. My suggestion would be to start by checking your tire pressure, as under-inflated tires can decrease gas mileage. It's also important to get regular tune-ups and use the manufacturer recommended fuel for optimum performance.

Hi Jack, it's possible that you are pushing your van too hard. Aggressive driving and heavy acceleration can significantly impact fuel economy. Also, idling for long periods of time can waste gas. Try to drive more smoothly and avoid idling when possible. Hope this helps.

Jack, you might want to consider using a fuel additive to help improve your gas mileage. These products can clean out deposits in your engine and improve fuel efficiency. Just make sure to choose a reputable brand and follow the instructions carefully.
