well you knopw, i dont mean to sound like a downer or something - but
24, 26 mpg of gasoline aint much better, if you're going through the
time and expense of converting, (apparently without ceasing) probably
ought to do something that at least sort of acknowledges the world
outside of vanagon love - such as global warming and global warring due
to and on behalf of said gasoline - i mean maybe we should start
thinking of any conversion that doesnt get at least 30 mpg to be sort
of shameful. i dont know - please dont throw any molotovs at me for
suggesting it though.

thanks in advance
