As for the fuel consumption rate for the Mercedes Sprinter in the city, it is 11,5 liters of fuel. Indeed, in the city, the consumption is always higher, this is due to the fact that constant traffic lights, pedestrian crossings, and simply the speed limit affect the consumption of gasoline and, naturally, it diverges much faster than outside the city. But the fuel consumption of the Mercedes Sprinter on the highway is much less - 7 liters... After all, there are no traffic lights and other things on the highway, and the driver may not start the engine many times, which, in technical terms, is already saving on consumption.
