they do an LPG one as well, think it uses a 1.8 zetec, could be cheaper to run if you have garages local that sell LPG, i know lots do now, people forget about the LPG vans, and they often sell cheaper, could be worth a look

I'm fully loaded most of the time.I set the rear abit higher to take the weight and when its empty I set it down so always looks the same.
In the pic above the van is loaded.will post more pics later of the engine bay leather interior etc
