Someone in my neighborhood is posting on craigslist to try to rent a
"Vanagon or other energy efficient vehicle" for a 1300 mile round trip to to
Anza Borrego's flowers - and offering $500.  I think this person has a
mistaken impression about the way Vanagons consume both fuel and funds. For
that price, they're likely to get somebody's barely running beater, and
that's likely to be a complicated trip. I, on the other hand, have the
well-running van but lack the time to make the trip this year. Perhaps I'll
offer to rent it for $5/mile.

Anybody ever rent their personal Vanagon out?
