i'm into the mk4's (5speed) which could easily break 60mpg with a hypermiler behind it.

65mpg HW seems a bit high considering the 2014s model mpg
it's probably a stat for the european golf they get better mpg
I actually was looking at a couple of mid eighties 'rabbits' on craigslist, all needed trans and engine repairs though.

I am just looking for something to start Ecomodding on, daily driver to get MUCH better MPG. My cousin has done several cavalier flips, might go that route. Even though he's gonna think I am nuts for wanting to Ecomod for an extra 3-5mpg. Hoping that with some aero mods, and hypermiling I can push it to some decent TDI esk numbers.
