Greg:

I installed a remanufactured engine in my '85 GL four years ago, and now,
70,000 miles later I can happily report that the investment was worth it.
If your rebuild has been done carefully I'm sure you'll experience the same.
Even now mine cruises happily at 70-75 mph, gets 19-21 mpg in warm weather
(I've gotten as much as 280 out of a tank before i got nervous and
refilled--but then I don't operate at the elevation you do).  It uses about
a 1/2 quart of synthetic in 2,500 miles and seems to be leaking no coolant
aside from the where i installed that lousy Prestone flush valve in a heater
hose (and then only in very cold weather).

Congratulations!  I love my van--I break out in hives when I think about
buying something else.
