Hey, everyone! Just stopping by to say hello before I datamine the bejesus out of this place to figure out how to improve the mpg (and maybe even the hp) on my '00 VW Bug. I just bought it last week, with 74K on it and I was finally able to do an mpg test this weekend. I was really rather shocked that it only came in at around 24 mpg! My Neon Sport got better gas mileage than that with 35 more hp.

But my Neon is gone. It would have cost me $3000 to make it worth $2000. So I traded it in for this amazing, adorable Bug with HUGE attitude, but also possibly scary low mpg.
