To Clarify, My comment that the Vanagon was capable of 90+ true was simply to
note the range of the GTI/diesel trans/27-8.50x14 combination. Living in
Southern California, I keep up with local traffic on the freeways, so 80 mph
is a normal (non rush hour speed). I generally don�t take it over 85. Cruises
comfortably at 65 to 80. Average 17.8 mpg around town and on the freeways for
local conditions. Goes up to 20+ for long distance cruising at 65 to 70.
