  It also has BIG calories...not that that affects how it works on your
Vanagon's exhaust pipes, but just curious, I looked at the label Because I
ride bikes and try to keep my weight down, I do watch what I eat...   200

 I have cooked, in the past, on a VW motor, however...Heated up my Dinty
Moore beef stew on the tin over my old split window Van very often...when I
was too poor to buy white gas for my Coleman stove.
