Actually, onthis last camping trip to Horsethief Lake a couple weeks ago (no mountain travel) Lola did her usual 20 MPG. I haven't weighed her lately, but she travels pretty full. When she has to climb mountains she drops to 17. This has been consistent the last two years I've owned her. I don't go by the fuel gauge, I go by the trip meter : ) Ellen Lola, '85 Vanagon ASI >I also can't> imagine that you folks with your laden Westies are getting the same> efficiency as me with my virtually empty Carat.> I am sure in my case that experiences with 18+ mpg is delusional. It's a> delusion caused by a fuel sender and gauge that isn't remotely accurate. _________________________________________________________________ Pack up or back up–use SkyDrive to transfer files or keep extra copies.
