 I get 20+mpg almost all the time and that's what the Volkswagen Canada 1988
Vanagon Specifications brochure I have in front of me says you should get...
I also have the Energy Canada stats page (ripped from an old book) and they
say the same thing....can scan and attach these if someone needs them..
