With my 34 ICT's I get 17 mpg and that is without 4th gear (soon to be fixed). I also have a 009 dizzy and an extracter exhaust with a single QP or stinger, depending on how abnoxious I feel. If your still using the stock exhaust you might want to replace it. It could be choking the motor. A friend with a Bug and the same setup but with 40 IDF's get about 22, the same he had with the stock carb, but lots more power.
