1984/ 2.1 mileage who knows? I checked the compression before I set out on this adventure 160-150psi.
Drove from the Bay Area to Mono Lake/Bodie, and the dirt roads all around it. Averaged 17.3mpg with 27" tires with my foot to the floor the entire time, high speeds of 27mph over the passes :roll:,
I did get stuck at one point digging myself to the tail pipe. It was a pretty scary moment, because the kitty litter sand quickly turned to fine moist dirt/sand and with every turn of the tire would dig down extremely fast, I tried packing rocks in and aired down all the way, but it would just shoot the rocks out. I jacked up the van so it was level then filled in this huge hole with large rocks. It was an intense experience being so alone and having to rely on myself. It would have been a good walk to find help. My gf asked if there was some sort of device that can be put between the sand and the tire to gain more traction...Those will be ordered..
Overall the van ran flawless, I'm stoked.

Looks like an awesome trip!
You found yourself in a hole and you got yourself out. Journey on.
What's the trip app? |

Its called Geo Tracker for Android, I mainly got it to track my milage to input to a separate MPG app..
The numbers are a little skewed because I left it on when just sitting around/sleeping/ or in a store. |
