I need an efficient van
I drive a long way on the motorway hauling quite heavy loads of metal, so I need a capable van, but I want to save a bit of cash on diesel. Is there anything out there?

Obviously if you're carrying heavy stuff you'll need a van with a decent payload rating, so vehicles like the longer wheelbase Iveco Daily, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Vauhall Movano make sense. Fuel economy is very dependent on load and configuration, but official figures are around 30mpg for these three.
