Wanting a tdi upgrade for my self! The mpg may remain similar but the
heavier loaded head wind fighting mpg will/should show better!

Now that's a good "apples to apples" diesel verses gas comparison.

Another one is with Mercedes S class, of which I've owned several. A 1986
420SEL is rated 15 MPG in town, 18 MPG Highway and also burns premium gas
only. My same year, same body 300SDL diesel got 22 MPG city and 25 MPG
highway.

I would expect the same mileage ratio in a diesel verses gas Vanagon and is
something to consider when doing a conversion.

Thanks, Tom Hargrave
