I want to take some serious steps to improve the gas mileage of my '80
aircooled Westfalia.  The best I have ever gotten is about 17mpg.  <clipped>>

Ouch.. that must hurt.  My 4.5 Litre 8-cylinder monster Infiniti gets on average 18.6 MPG (that's 7.83 Km per Litre in the spirit of our new Canadian host!)

My 87 GL watercool use to get 26mpg when it was new.. now it is hovering about 23mpg for city driving.
