22mpg? This sure seems low. I've had V8 Chevy's get 20mpg. I would think 28-30 mpg would be the norm. Maybe your tires are taller than normal and the Speedo is going slow. Mine are low profile so my Speedo is about 5mph fast. \ Rich & Nicole (Daughter), Orange County, CA 70 SquareBack MT FI http://community.webshots.com/user/schlegelr -----Original Message----- From: Greg Merritt [mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org] Sent: Tuesday, May 18, 2004 6:19 PM Brian, I started recording mileage data for my Squareback for the first time ever starting in January. After a couple of tanks, the mileage I measured was pretty poor. (Ok... mid TEENS, yuck! Ok, lowish mid teens on the worst tank. Bleh.) Guess what? My mileage on the last tank was about 22mpg. Wow -- pushing a 50% increase! That included a good chunk of highway miles done at a NON-miserly speed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
