Interesting that there is very little difference with the T34.
These aren't quite apples to apples. What happens if we compare single and dual
carb engines with the same compression ratios? I'm sure there were low
compression dual carb engines. Were there also high compression single carb
engines?
I always get confused here because the VW production survey refers to only 2
compressions: standard and low. Was the 1500S a standard compression engine, or
was it "none of the above."
I think there were several reasons for still offering the single carb version: - ability to run on low octane fuel
Which is cheaper, so the cost per mile may come out the same, or even better.
