The odd thing about your gas consumption is that it's uniform whether city or freeway, if I'm understanding you right. My '84 1.9 Westy gets 15-16 around town, 19-21 on the freeway. I find that mine is extremely sensitive to driving conditions. On the freeway, take off 2 mpg for AC running, another 1 to 2 for driving 70+, another 1 to 2 for headwind, and so forth. Driving 70 with AC and a headwind I'd be lucky to get 18, esp. fully loaded. But there should be a least 4-5 mpg difference between city and freeway. What kind of tires are you using?
