Newbie: Mk2 jetta action
Hey everyone, I stumbled upon this forum last night. Very cool stuff here. My daily driver is a 1991 VW jetta 1.8 sohc 8valve 5speed. When I picked up the car in PA, I filled the tank and got 36 mpg while driving aggressively. Since then its been only NY gas which is 10% ethanol and my MPG sucks, normal driving nets me around 24-27 mpg. I know this car can do more! What kills me is this car HAS to warm up for at least 2 minutes before going anywhere or it won't drive (damn digifant).
Mods are:
- 2" drop (previous owner cut the springs) Will be getting coilovers in the spring
- Air box mod
-Digifast chip (supposedly helps with MPG)
-MEATY snow tires
The clutch slips if driven hard so I drive nicely! Anyone have any awesome tips or info for me about this particular vehicle?
-Mark
