My father just reported in after reaching Arizona from Ohio in his '87 Westy
it had in the past suffered from sporadic Vanagon Syndrome ? (bucking
hesitation, etc.)  Well just outside Cinn., Ohio it began again.  He had
always run regular 87 Octane, but decided then to fill up with a middle grade
gas.  From Cincy on to Arizona, he experience no further episodes.  Was this
mere coincidence, or could it be a fix to his problem.  Perhaps he never had
the syndrome but instead the van wanted higher octane all along? As you can
see  I'm  reaching here.  Please, any thoughts would be appreciated.
