Jake, you claimed average 24 mpg highway for your 2.1 Westy. Lots of
people have had tanks of gas where they got better than normal, but no
other Westy owner claimed anything like what you do. I did not see
anyone else claim more than 18-19 for a 2.1 Westy.

This thread started with someone saying they were now only getting 12 in
an 84 Westy and asking what was normal. If you claim that 24 mpg for a
1986 Westy 2.1 is normal then I say you are very wrong. If you say it
has happened at times, then I can believe it. Why you need to turn this
into some brag fest I don't get. The poster wanted to know what he
should expect. If he now expects anything like your numbers he will be
very disappointed.
