Having just driven about 200 miles up the center of Northern
California in an ''89 non-camper 2.1L battling crosswinds and
headwinds the whole way, I will amend my earlier comments by adding
that sometimes the Vanagon can be a little slow. I was at times
fighting to maintain 60 mph with one eye on the temp (edging at times
to uncover the LED), and the sound if one or two crying kids was
motivation for me to think engine conversion... someday.

For reference my 71 would have been at 35 or 45 at most in those
winds. I don't miss that.
