Hi all, I've been calculating mileage this week-end went into a trip, so here it is:

43 liters of gas for 261 km= 11.35 US gallons for 163.12 miles
163.12 divide by 11.35 US gallons= 14.37 miles per US gallon = 16.7 liters for 100km Is that reasoneable?
Engine has 312,168km and burns about hafl pint oil every 1000 miles. Compression is equal in every cylinder I change sparks plug every 6 months and wires every 2 years. Transmission oil have been chenged once in 16 years. I clean throttle body with spray once a month and air filter when its become brownish. As you see it is the original paint, a couple of retouching has been made these past years using the original color the van is treated with a special mix of mineral oil and other product at high pressure to assure that no rust can come out.
Thats my story folks
