( per Jim Felder )

"By slowing down and driving smoother, the brakes are
less important anyway"

Perusing old 'Popular Science' magazines from the late
'50's/early 60's the yearly "Mobil Economy Run" was a
big deal - one observation that popped up often was
that using the brakes wastes fuel (!) - i.e. if you
put yourself in the position of having to use your
brakes unnecessarily then you used extra fuel to get
into that position. Esp. in Vanagons there's no excuse
'cuz we're in a perfect position to be driving far
down the road. I regularly get 19+ (GPS actual) w/ an
Adventurewagen top. Slow lane, 55-60 constant.
