Hi there.  Mileage on my '90 Syncro Westy is fairly consistent at 
23-24 mpg (imperial).  We don't use the van in town, so my mileage 
figures are strictly highway and loaded with camping gear.  The van 
has 116000 km on it now (72000 miles).  

Of late, I have put in Bosch Platinums, and had new injectors 
installed (VW recall campagn in Canada), and on a recent trip of 
nearly 2000 km (1200 miles) I averaged 24.7 mpg with a high of 26 and 
a low of 23.  That is going over 6 mountain passes, and with a/c on.

Harry.
