Subject:      More questions on my '85

I hope I am not being to much of a pain here, I have lotsa questions.

When the engine is cold on this '85, the idle is about 900-1000 RPM. When warmed up to normal operating temperature the idle increases to 1400-1600 RPM. The van also seems to be getting not so good gas mileage--not sure of the figures (and in fact, I don't know how much the tank really holds) but in 90 miles of driving, I have used 1/2 tank according to the fuel gauge.

Also, could someone explain the heater/fresh air controls, they seem indordinately complicated (I also have a rear heater as well). The four levers seem like a carry over from the old '71 bus but I don't think right and left have much to do with the controls.

Thanks in advance...--
