Hello members
I have been a mileage counter for the last 10 yrs or so, I have owned a 1L. 3cyl. 92 geo metro convertible for about 5 yrs. it averaged 42 mpg although 50 mpg imperial was possible on the highway going 55.
I had wanted a fuel efficient 4 cyl. diesel for quite sometime then the conditions were right and I purchased a 98 tdi beetle. I have been enjoying it,much more then the
metro, do to the metro's 52 hp 55ftlb torque compared to the vw's 120 hp 190ftlb torque.
Gas mileage is from excellent to unbelievable in the beetle depending on driving style and route.
I look forward to doing some more mods to my car too further its great gas mileage, I will post my current mpg when i find the area to post it in.
