I once got 27.8 with my turbo, it seemed to get as good or better
mileage than the NA because you didn't have to wring it out so hard
to keep up with traffic, I guess. I get about 26-27 with the NA in a
westy. On the diesel vanagon group at Yahoo!, the range for a non-
westy is usually about 30, some report a little higher.
