Fuel System mpg

1.9DG engine

Fritz

We have a 1.9DG Viking camper 1986 with 40,000 miles on the clock which on a long motorway run during summer has been known to return 29MPG...........If used daily during the urban cycle you can expect anything from 18-22 MPG.

Having the vehicle loaded doesn't appear to make any difference with these fuel figures.........\

Lloyd

88 1.9dg Reimo hi-top westy gassed w/stock tire. 17-19mpg on 2 mile urban commute, 22.1-24.8mpg @ 40-55mph on holiday on holiday in France, 19-22mpg @ 55-65mph. Petrol and gas mileages are too close to same to tell without doing some real testing. Gas fills will vary up to 8 ltr from 55 to 66 liter when completely empty due to station pressure and temperature, so mpg will vary dramatically. One half tank fill was 13.8mpg while another was 26.7mpg.

Weight doesn't seem to matter on highway miles, but does dramatically affect short runs.

Using half throttle or less and NEVER full throttle makes a huge difference! One fast start up to 30mph will knock 2mpg off of a 100 mile run of 22mpg. Same for stepping down on it and passing or climbing hills. Have had 3 vehicles with onboard computers to test it on.

1.6TD engine

noss vanagon

1.6 TD, multivan interior with westy pop top.

Get combined of about 35mpg, returns about the same on motorway if you stick at about 60/65mph

Vans got about 60k on it. running on 205 tyres perhaps 185 would be bit better.
