Ian

I concur with David Marshall's estimates. I have an 88 vanagon syncro
kombi (2 seater cargo van w/windows)with a 2.0L Inline 4.
On a recent 350 mile hwy trip thru rolling hill terrain in typical
Pacific Northwest weather(damp & 45 degree temp)with average speeds of
70 to 75 mph., fuel consumption using 92 or 94 octane was as follows:

19      mpg US
22.5    mpg Imp
12.7L   per 100 Km

Mileage would be better if I kept my speed between 60 and 65 mph.
