In a sane world, that would be true. Normal driving technique for Beetles was flat on the floor, shift at redline, and hope you did not get run over.
Gas mileage suffered because of so much time at wide open throttle fuel enrichment. A more powerful engine at part throttle might have given better gas mileage.
