@ Isaac,

I'm looking to be able to average about 30 mpg on flat land, with no tail/head wind, and going ~60 mph. To do this, one of the first things I'll do is make sure the tires are up to max on tire pressure.

Some of these city vans are reported at being 28-29 mpg highway. So I don't think shooting for 30 mpg is out of the question.

@freebeard,

yeah I had '71 Westfalia that was a German or Euro floor plan. That was in part a bench sit, instead of the useless walk-through front seating. The spare was in the middle and under the seat. The sink, stove, water, battery, and some storage was behind the seat. Was alot better at using the space. I had some really nice extras too. Biggest one was the tent that was offered with them.

'71 was the 1st year for discs brakes. Had a dual port 1600 engine. Man I wish I had it now!
