driving
the Vanagon about 1000 miles without a clutch. Other than this mishap, =
it has
ran flawlessly for about 20,000 miles and averages between 28 and =
32 MPG.
It is very slow however which is one reason I have had to park it and =
drive our
Jetta TDI to work in high speed traffic near Washington D.C. I =
