Go to http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2024533#2024533 near the bottom of the thread there is a description. Only works on the flats of course... And my comments reflected more a philosophy than anything really empirical. But it makes sense when you are running an underpowered vehicle of that age that babying it will make it last longer than running the edge. And the fact that they were never designed for speed in the first place should make one cautious. I suspect that the the reason the road behind aircooled buses is littered with blown heads is that folks have forgotten this point, and try to drive like everyone else. And the fact that VW foolishly never installed temp gauges on their AC buses. That's an absolute must, IMO.
