Hi JP,


200 miles is easily attainable on an aircooled vanagon in good
operating condition. I have carabussed with a couple of aircooled
vanagons over the years and 200 miles is a workable range.


But when your odometer pukes, you'll be using a map or a clock (top
off the tank every 3 hours).




Happy Trails,
