I would think that was more normal than the 20-21 mpg (as long as you don't have a HiPo motor). I just went 2 weeks on one tank of gas on mine! $21.00! My suburban goes a week and a half on one 40 gallon tank! $80.00.

Well, a few days ago I drove the Fastback on a 4-hour round trip to Delaware and back. When the trip odometer hit 200 miles, I expected the tank would need filling...but I still had a good amount of gas left. After filling up and doing the calculations, it showed that I got 29-30 MPG on this all-highway trip (with consistent speeds in the 65-72 MPH range). Is this normal? Thanks, - Doug '73 Fastback ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
