Don't settle for less. I drive conservatively, 55 - 60 mph, and I have been
getting 21-22 mpg consistently for many years. (86 Vanagon GL, 4sp)

Your looking at just about the best your 2.1 is going to gve for mpg.
other than adding a JATO assist system.

You might bump it up a half mile per gallon more by cruising at no moe
than 55 mph and addiing type F fluid to the trans to help the clutches
grab better, but you'll hardly never see 16 mpg. in an automatic
Vanagon.

If someone makes ridiculous claims otherwise, they are blatantly
pevaricating.

I really chuckle when I see claims of 21 mpg with a stick Vanagon.

LMAO !!

Hi trying to work a bit better gas mileage out of my 1986 VanagonGL with
automatic transmission.

Right now, I am getting a little over 15MPG with mixed Street/Highway
driving.
What can I do to get this mileage up higher. I have asked about mileage
before up here, and gotten indications that my mileage is low.>>
