Do you mean to say you got a ticket at 94 mph in your Vanagon? I would be
awed if true.

I don't know how you get that mpg from your 2.1L. What number do you use for
capacity when computing your mileage? The OEM tank is 16 gal (15.9 gal or 60
L).

I would be thrilled with anything over 19 mpg in my 1990 Carat.

Hi All,

Here is a web site that shows MPGs for almost all
cars.

According to fueleconomy.gov, '86 Vanagon 2.1, 2wheel
drive is supposed to give 15-17mpg.
Mine has ranged between 21-25mpg. Why is that? Is that
good or bad (for the van)? I am not the easiest driver
on our cars... just got a ticket at 94mph ... but I
take good care of them (the cars, that is!).
