Re: Why does the sprinter get better mpg?
Daimler-Benz AG WAS a company from 1926 to 2000. It was the parent company of Mercedes-Benz. Which isn't just a coach works company. It later became Daimler-Chrysler. Parent company of Chrysler and Mercedes-Benz. Hence the "Dodge" Sprinter. It is now known as Daimler AG as of 2007. No more Chrysler. The Sprinter engine is a Mercedes-Benz engine as well as the truck itself.
