Overview

The 1986 GMC G15/25 Vandura 2WD is a gasoline van with rear-wheel drive, a 5.0-liter eight-cylinder engine and a three-speed automatic transmission. Its EPA combined rating is 15 MPG, with 14 MPG in city driving and 17 MPG on the highway. The EPA lists the vehicle in the Vans class and reports tailpipe emissions of 592.47 grams of CO2 per mile.

Those fuel-economy figures give buyers a straightforward basis for estimating day-to-day fuel use: the city rating is lower than the highway rating, while the combined figure sits between them. EPA-estimated annual fuel cost is $4,450. That figure is a useful running-cost reference alongside the MPG ratings; it is not a purchase price.
