From my 11 year use of our Vanagon Syncro, I'm getting 15-18 mpg in city and 16-19 mpg on highways. If I can find non-reformulated gas I can get much better mpg. The best mpg I've ever got is 23 mpg with non-reformulated gas which we were driving in Denver area.

For those interested in knowing, I only got 40mpg on the first tank of fuel in my New Beetle TDI in combination city and highway driving. Hopefully this will improve with "breaking-in". What kind of gas mileage do late 80's model Vanagons get? Just curious. James 98 New Beetle TDI 82 Vanagon L diesel 78 SB Conv assorted other stuff
