Wow,

Thats incredible gas mileage...especially considering the Syncro Westies
(87 at least) city/highway is suppoped to be around 14 or 14.5...  Was it
downhill both ways??  Im jealous.

Rob, we drove our '86 Syncro Westfalia to Westies in the Woods in NJ from
Ontario, Canada, a trip of 1395 miles (2175 km). Our camper was fully laden
(topped up with fresh well water). We used mostly 87 and 89 octane
gasoline. We
drove through windy, twisty, wet, dry and hot conditions (ain't travel
great).
Our average gas consumption was 20.6 mpgUS (11.8 litre/100km). Larry
