    Between a van and a pick-up with the same engine and the same displacement, I guess the van might consume more fuel primarily because of the vehicle's weight. A van carries more seats at the rear, plus it uses more sheet metal and glass because of the extended cabin. The rear on a pick-up, on the other hand, is bare and open on purpose for carrying cargo.
