> Does anybody get this kind of mileage?




Not mine, a 1987 Vanagon GL Syncro Westfalia with 27" BFG AT's.




I get on "average" about 16 miles per gallon. I typically drive a combination of rush hour@10mph, suburban@40mph, and highway@70mph.




Note: the 27" tires give me a precise speedometer reading, but I have been told that the odometer is therefore off by "about" 10%. Thus, it would make sense that my "real" mileage is 10% better, or approx 17.5mpg -- who knows?




Cheers,
