a little post update. I have been at 24.2 mpg average for the last 3 tanks. the fuel leak when topped off has kept me from filling up last few times though. At 4.15 a gallon fuel leaks get pretty expensive!!!
in response to-
SentraSE-R; slowing down would help alot and it is the most cost effective modification but i just can't seem to find a wrench yet that fits the loose nut behind the steering wheel
MPGKing; it will be bought outright. I've given banks way to much of my money as-is.
CFG83; unfortunantly the drivers seat has started to break down and is getting uncomfortable. I'll be looking for a replacement seat soon.
Hip001; A TDi beetle would be great... If i had 5000$ to put on it. I had a '00 1.8t beetle 5spd and that car was a blast. and screw all the haters who say "girls car"
thanks so far guys. talk to you later
