It's going to depend on a lot of factors. For example, how heavily laden, whether it's a mix of town and motorway driving, and which of the two 1.9 engine specs it has, plus many others.
VW give the combined cycle MPG of the mid-spec 2 litre diesel as around 38MPG, and I doubt the 1.9 102PS engine would be significantly different.
I wouldn't consider re-mapping for economy - if anyone knows how to get the best mileage out of a VW engine it would be VW themselves.

I had a T5 for a year and half, mine was the 170 hp, engine no remap or trickery, AUTOSLEEPER TRIDENT, filled in Calais, and it took me all the way to MILANO , my nephew was getting married, so work it out mate, i must admit i'm not one to check on things like that, not even now, my transit based hobby motorhome is fitted with all sorts and for once i got the curiosity to find out the mileage, all the way down to Spain (L'Estartit) and back and fuel consumption was 33.7 mpg, not bad for a for a 2.2 diesel, i will check it again this coming september, going all the way down to Pompei to visit my sisters.

I'd post your question on the T5 forum ... by the way you cant use veg oil in the T5 only the older T4 due to the injection system... I recently did glasgow to northern france in mine fully laden bikes on the back, pulling a trailer and had done over 600mls when I fuelled up with the fuel light still to come on which is another 10ltrs I was pretty happy with this as its usually around 500 in town and short trips...

We have 2 yr old short wb, pop top, 2.0L TDI.
OH reckons it does around 60mpg cruising on the french motorways, and around 50 over here. That's normal load, no bikes or trailer etc. Phenomenal is the word he used. (He's always measuring fuel economy). Ordinary diesel.
We can get to the south of France on 1 tank, but it costs about £90 to fill!

Hi Boxertwin, yes we too got about 38mpg + from our previous Fiat 2.3 td Ducato. 2004 Trigano Tribute. The actual VW T5 we viewed had been "chipped" to a claimed 145ps. but assume driven carefully, we could get a good return. Thanks !
