That's good to know, especially for this winter (the desert (great basin) is
dang cold!) I'll put a different thermostat in. I just finished a 1500 mile
trip for business and fun, got 19 mpg.  Better would be better.  And now
that the ambient temperature is getting down toward 10F, more in the heater
would be better, too!


What do I look for?  90 degrees?  I don't even know what denomination they
come in.

A cooler thermostat will lead, in general, to lower MPG, because of the way
the way the ECU interprets the signal from the Temp2 sensor...  ...The
cooling system in a waterboxer Vanagon could handle general duty cooling for
a small V-8!
