It's not really impossible to set a Beetle to achieve 50MPG in highway just with engine mods and the higher differential gears of the SP2 (another Brazilian sports car assembled with the Volkswagen platform, but with a steel body and made by Volkswagen itself), but it would be too optimistic to expect that in city traffic without a major aerodynamic job.
