I routinely get about 17mpg in my '80 Westi. I travel about 100 miles per day with an elevation change of about 1500 ft. Down in morning when it's cool, up in the afternoon when it's hot. Occasionally will range to 15 low, 20 high. - Jeff Iwanna21/23windowsunroofDeluxewalkthru! to be used for daily driving '80 Westi (2) BOTH FOR SALE '66 Bus, Kombi FOR SALE '22 Piano, upright Kohler & Cambell FOR SALE '67 Sqbk '64 Ford Crewcab '87 Subaru 4WD '97 Nissan Quest Grass Valley, California, USA Jeffrey.Carver@Aerojet.com - - - - - - - - -snip - - - - - - - - Hey all, For my '81 Vanagon (2.0L air-cooled) I have been diligently keeping track of fill-ups with gallons bought and miles driven since 9/1/97.
