For those who watch their gas consumption and wish to compare their
data, I include our trip log.

On our trip in May '98 from Wilberforce, Ontario, Canada to Busses on
the Blue Ridge in NC and back, a 3330 kms trip of mixed driving on
freeways, through mountains and city traffic, we averaged 11.57
litre/100km or 20.08 miles/gal on premium gasoline. Everything in our
Syncro Westfalia is stock with the exception of the add-on AFM wire
harness purchased and installed on this trip in PA. Here are the
details:
