I'd run a whole tank through it - not sure if 3 gallons is going to give you an accurate reading. Although 16.5mpg isn't shabby, esp with the heavier vanagon (i'm assuming it's a/c). I get between 16-18 mpg highway with my 76 2.0 FI.

I was able to hit 16.6 mpg on my Vanagon doing 65-70mph on the interestate. 55 mile trip resulted in use of 3.3 gal. What now? Should I push it further?
Laws of Physics sez, "work of shoving big box around takes 'X' quantity of fuel at 27% efficiency = 'Y' waste heat."
Enjoy.
