Found this chart on 914 world

Quote:
I found a report in two french magazines of 1970 and 1973.
Test was made on the Monthlery oval track. They mesured fuel consumption at various speed. The car was always on 5th gear. I converted the values from Liter/100 km to MPG.
They made the test in 1970 with a 1.7 and in 1973 with a 2.0 ...
914/6 also on chart.



With a microscopic frontal area of 17.2, a Cd of .36 and CdA of 6.19, the 914 is a prime ecomodding target. WANT!!1!
