Turbo will suck fuel, there is no way out. What engine is in the Doka?
My best ever millage was in Mexico, a good 25mpg (Avr. speed around 55mph).
Average comming back was about 22-23, my engine is very good on fuel
consumption. When Sylvie is driving, i never hit 20... he he he. Top speed
recorded (with Sylvie again) 143kph (89mph)
At some point, in Mexico again, Hans SVX got better millage than a stock 2.1L.

ps.: my van is now for sale, 45K Canadian $, 50K US :-)
