Hello, My 85 1.9 westy got 22.5 mpg last summer, on a trip. Nothin special about the condition or tune on this vehicle. It is a 4 speed. The road was flat,the whole way. I would guess that in summer , in Iowa, starting at noon with a new tank of gas, and only traveling at 55mph(yeah right), 24mpg is possiable.Driving without stopping,going up hill,and burning the entire tank with a van that was warmed up first. |
