My WAG is 0 MPG as the thing won't move.
This isn't the craziest idea to come out of Salem though. My dad hauled a 5th wheel camper with a 1965 Chevy stepside and a receiver made out of 2x10 boards with a semi-circle notched out in both. He captured the ball between the 2 semi-circles in the boards that were then bolted to the bed rails. His safety chain was a come along wrapped around the ball. We needed a landing strip to stop the thing at freeway speeds. The full tank of fuel got us to Portland and all but 3 miles back to home.
Dang camper is still sitting in the same place 25 years later. I have a feeling this VW would move a similar amount after the "upgrade".
Wouldn't the extra load on the 2 remaining cylinders cause premature wear? VW isn't known for reliability in the first place.
