Big fat tyres and more aero drag from the bodykit will affect the MPG massively. Just going from my winter tyres to my summer tyres has knocked my mpg by 1.5. Yours will improve as the engine loosens up at 6k+ miles, but it will never be as good as a standard van.

Both generations of Connects have bad aerodynamics past 60 mph. Significant rise in fuel consumption.

I've been called BS on this so it's a YMMV matter.
