Didnt the engine on the way back turn out to have a really low compression ratio in the end?
Im just wondering if that accounts for the good mpg

It did, but when rebuilt with big valves, high compression and slightly bigger + whopping carbs it still averaged 26mpg. Not so bad eh?

I only ever got out pulled once when I had my type 1 engined bus, we were fully loaded for two weeks holiday camping with two adults one child and two dogs on board, Going up some long drag on some motorway somewhere darnn sarff on the way to the Kent Vw show with Silver, Just not quite as much torque as a 2.0 type 4 with twin 40's and a nice cam and he started to gradually pull away, I was gutted but on another trip to Keiths field last year and both on our own and not as heavy I got my own back, he reckoned he could'nt keep up even on acceleration, Iv'e never had a type 4 engine but I never needed one
