A friend and I drove a 1962 Beetle with the stock 40 horse 1200cc engine from Pittsburgh -> New Orleans -> Los Angeles -> San Francisco. We had minor engine trouble at the end of the first day (gen pulley started to come loose); since we were in no hurry (ahh, to be a college student again), we decided to drive about 55mph the rest of the way. We hit a nearly rock-solid 37.5mpg, tank after tank. -Greg ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
