The best gas mileage I got out of my Syncro Westy was 20 mpg. Unusual
circumstances. I filled up in Gunnison Colorado and traveled east on
US 50 up and over Monarch pass. From there on through Pueblo, it was
all down hill. 205/70R14 tires stock engine. Finally got gas someplace
east of there on US 50. Overflowed the tank after putting 10 gallons
in (200 miles). I was sure I would need more, but that's all that fit.
Never got that type of fuel economy anyplace else.
