When I get tired of getting 18-20 in my vanagon, I climb into my OTHER vanagon, the one with the diesel and all the camping stuff, and get 25 to 29 depending. Then I get to have pretty much the same tools, same workbook manuals, same parts (mostly) and same problems, so learning to do something on one car is learning to do it on the other. Jim
