Well, I really do get 21 mpg with my '85 1.9 Westy (certainly not the
same as a 2.1 syncro) running at 63 mpg (by GPS).  I'm using 185 14
Nokian Hakkapeliitta C2 tires.  This is confirmed over many miles and
several years.  BTW, it only gets about 17 mpg with the O2 sensor
disconnected.  With that much difference, I'd say my AFM is somewhat
maladjusted and the O2 sensor serves to compensate for it.
