from what i can tell.. mk3 vw 4cyl golf's in the 5 door flavor are 60ish lbs heavier than 3 door golf sports.. now.. i want to stick with a 4cyl.. and the 4cyl gti's have abs and other options that add additional weight.. so trying to find an older golf "sport" is silly.. and there are a few 5 door golfs floating around my area for cheap.. jetta's too.. but i don't know the weight..

A)i've read that.. 100lbs = about 2% effect on mpg.. yea? would that influence you to pay MORE and take more TIME finding a project..? i say no.. get a 5 door..

if above is a moot point.. )weight that is.(
B) is there a significant difference in the ultimate potential between a hatch and a sedan.. ie: golf v. jetta..? cause i have a jetta sitting around.. just can't decide if i'm gonna get show crazy with it..


as in my intro thread.. i'm tired of fueling my 8.1l silverado.. its just silly.. so i wanna pick up a little beater project to hypermile.. ha.. i'm used to forum discussions about lifted truck suspension or flow charts of turbo's for big power on race cars.. so this is funny to me.. but in the i'm jealous so i'll laugh at the kid who's cooler than me way..

please welcome me with open arms..
