Hey everybody. What is your fuel economy in your VW. Let's compare
Vehicle must be a VW, engine can be a conversion of another type. I understand there are many more factors, if there are any significant ones, add
them to notes.
MPG
L/100km
Vehicle
Engine
Fuel delivery
Trans
Fuel
Notes
I will start it off
MPG 29.94 country

Vehicle VW 1975 Kombi
Engine 2.2 Subaru EJ22
Fuel delivery Stock computer and injection
Trans 4 speed manual 091

1972 S-Bug
Stock 1600cc twin-port
9-10 L/100km everywhere, freeway, city, traffic, thrashing flat-out in the hills, motorkhana/khanacross days. It doesn't particularly seem to matter
how you drive, almost every tank averages between 9 to 10 L/100km.
Fuel is 95 or 98 octane, only BP or Shell.
Currently averaging zero because it's sitting in the shed with no carburettors on it.

VW T 5 transporter. 2.5 five cylinder. Best so far 970k off 70 litres diesel. Thats 13.85k per litre. As for the bug with 2270 don't know yet can't

My Beetle 1968 semi auto 4.375 to 1 diff ratio
1600cc single port engine - standard
extractors and new SVDA distributor with Pertronix kit
Brasilian WEBER single throat carburetor
electric fuel pump
I have no idea what fuel consumption I get.. lol
from 2005 to 2011 with bosch 009 distributor
You could see the fuel gauge going down..
since fitting the SVDA single vacuum dual advance distributor
the fuel consumption has been great and the car goes much better.. I use 98 or 95 octane fuel..
I believe I'm getting maybe double the mileage i was getting before going by the fuel gauge..?? I have also replaced the fuel hoses.. maybe a leak
although never ever saw one..??
runs like a hairy goat on 91 with ETHANOL...??
loses heaps of power?? well it did before the extractors and new distributor.?? maybe I had ithe carby tuned wrong?? whether it still does I don't
know.. I always forget to write down when I fill up...

Wow, all the Subaru bugs get such good mileage! It's tempting me over to the dark side....
Also, @vwvic, hell's teeth! 20+ litres per hundred in a 2 litre Kombi! You would do better than that with a V8 in it!

That's the joys of modern fuel injection and 16 valves.
VW engines can get very respectable economy with modern fuel injection fitted but it's not a cheap exercise, especially when it's cheaper to fit a
Subi engine which already has it standard.

2789cc turbo methanol injected
My chop top drag car used 8.5 litres of methanol per 9 seconds over 1/4 mile or 400 metres .
So this equals 34 litres per mile or 7.5 gallons per mile .
So this is 2125 litres per 100 km's .
Engine was well tuned with 549 HP .
Car was a '69 bug weighing 619 kg's .
Rev's were 9050 rpm's @ 161 mph / 262 km/h , ROD.
More boost + More fuel = More power
1968 Beetle fastest run 8.96 sec @ 161 mph 4th Nov. 2001
2010 New Beetle 8.12 sec on 8th march 2014

that is what I call a complete well done fuel economy evaluation Steve..
but I just would hate to run out of fuel...lol
but at the current price...
I just hate to fill it up... lol
maybe one of those 10 litre drag racing tanks would be great
it would get me to Mcdonalds & back a few times..
anything over 30 MPG is good..
over 35 MPG in old 1200 beetleswas good.. back then..
Have You tried 91 with ethanol Steve???

my boss has a TDI 08 or 09 passat.
I can vouch for this.
only problem is the fuel savings are offset by the horrendous service and repairs cost of such cars.
anyway I got about 15-17 l/100 in my notch. The engine seem to output really good, but its vital signs show something is seriously wrong internally.
My daily bomb is 20 this year this year and when it was all freshen up did 9L/100 city 6-7L/100 highway. Now that I have flogged the crap out of it
for 75,000km over a period of 2 years, which 60,000 in the last 14 months it gets around 10 city, 8 on the highway. I so wish it had a MAF instead of
MAP based EFI system
