I was excited to cross 216k this weekend. Geez, you guys are depressing. :) -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of Zolly Sent: Saturday, July 03, 2010 8:16 PM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Re: 300k! I have 450k miles on mine, only it's not a Vanagon but a diesel Mercedes 190D, 2.5 engine, 5 cylinder. Bought it for $500 a year ago and it's a well serviced car. I wish the Vanagon would have an engine like that in it. Kind of a heavy engine, I must say. And it does 30 to 38 mpg. Not using oil much at all. But nothing sounds like a Vanagon.
