Hello everyone, I am a new member here at the List.  I am very happy to be a part of the group and hope to be able to learn alot from everyone here.

  I have two questions:

      One-  How many miles to the gallon have some people been able get on e 1985 VW Vanagon Westy? Mine is the Weekender package. My poor fuel economy  (about 14 - 15 mpg) I thought   was perhaps due to my O2 sensor.  I just purchased the van last Nov. and experienced sluggishness during takeoff after the van was warm.  the o2 light was on so I figured that the sensor was old and replaced it.  While waiting to replace it I disconnected it and no more problem with sputtering.  After my new o2 arrived I replaced it and still the same problem. it is now still disconnected.  There is also a pre-sensor or something on the intake.  I have tried different combo's of connection of pre-sensor connected and o2 disconnected and vice versa but the o2 disconnected is the best. Help Please!!!!  My mileage is low and fuel is high

       Two - I was also wondering does anyone know of a source that would have the original courderoy upholstry.  My seat bottoms are ragged but my backs are fine.  I would love to match that tan material.

Thanks everyone!!!!
