I wish I could get 10 on my motor home. 8.5 solo, 7.5 pulling the Vanagon.

Now two Vanagons getting 17 mpg would be 8.5 mpg combined. So a 39" motor
home pulling a Vanagon at 7.5 must be a bargain! Right?

Dave, don't think of it as a poor mileage car.  Think of it as the best
mpg motorhome that was ever made.  Check the mpg on motorhomes some
time.  Even with diesel engines they are getting 10-12 mpg.
