We just got back from our trip to San Jose. Was planning on going to a pre-T=
hanksgiving meet organized by VWCamperFamily which was close by but unfortun=
ately couldn't make it - maybe next year.

Anyway, I had a question as to fuel economy and what I should be getting.  I=
 have read anywhere from 18-25mpg is normal for the air-cooled campers but t=
he best I can get is in the low 17's. This trip got 14.2 with one tank and t=
hat was mostly highway at 55-60mph, and the best only 15.5mpg. (81 air-coole=
d westy)
