My fuel mileage, last I checked, in my 1987 Westy 2.2L with MT (higher geared 4th synchro) was running 17-23mpg.? I live in Florida, so we don't have a lot of hills, or snow.? The evaporator system in Vanagons will smell "fuely" on a full tank, if it isn't working perfectly, but that shouldn't affect your fuel mileage.? Definitely check your lines.? If you are still running the plastic fuel line from front to back, it may be a good time to replace it.
