you are doing something wrong then. I have a syncro westy that is almost
always fully loaded with camping gear and h2o and i routinly get low's
20's. Highway was once measured at 24, but usually 22/23 ish.

1) check your mixture (use an exhaust gas analyzer)
2) check your injectors and fuel pressure
3) check your ecu (swap it out see #6)
4) check your tank for a leak (that should be obvious. Get a canary
otherwise)
5) somthing is jacked up (yep)
6) "talk" with peterB (good luck. 35:1 odds currently. 5:1 odds for me.
He calls me 1x a week!?)
7) beer time (yeah, i wish.)
