Hi
Just wondering hoe many liters per 100ks or mpg do people get out there standard old beetles ?
I have a 36hp and think that it should be pretty cheap to run when i get it finished .
Cheers

i get about 7.5/100 in my modified t4 powered bug, and im thinking about to change the rims to bigger to lower my rpm at my cruising speed of 110kmh, im currently doing about 3500rpm at 110kmh
