Now that's a good "apples to apples" diesel verses gas comparison.

Another one is with Mercedes S class, of which I've owned several. A 1986 420SEL is rated 15 MPG in town, 18 MPG Highway and also burns premium gas only. My same year, same body 300SDL diesel got 22 MPG city and 25 MPG highway.

I would expect the same mileage ratio in a diesel verses gas Vanagon and is something to consider when doing a conversion.
