Both of those are absolutely embarrassing, did they use a 1950s Soviet tank engine? According to a quick Google search, a Ford Transit (bigger sized but not optimised for post delivery van) gets 33-46 mpg depending on the engine.

Yeah, a post vehicle will start/stop much more, but that's where start/stop tech, and maybe even hybrid come in.
