New VW Beetle aero
1 Attachment(s)
I thought these were aero first time i looked at them i guess not...
Plans are to buy a tdi and push 75 mpg out of it:) |
That will be challenging! Even the VW Lupo 3L (Volkswagen Lupo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia), which was designed to get 3L/100km (78mpg) on the Euro equivalent of the EPA ratings with a teeny 1.2L 3cyl turbodiesel, has a hard time getting to 75mpg in real world driving (see the ecomodder diesel fleet FE rankings: EcoModder Fleet list - EcoModder.com). Also notice that there are no diesels newer than 2010 in the top 20...
Also, check out Fuelly to get another perspective: Volkswagen Beetle MPG Reports | Fuelly That said, it doesn't mean it's impossible... but probably extremely difficult. If you're still looking for a TDI, consider getting an older TDI with an ALH engine, available in the 1999.5 to 2003 MkIV VWs. With mine, I can regularly get high 50's, low 60's per tank. There are a few others on Fuelly: 2003 Volkswagen Jetta MPG Reports | Fuelly |

Well, obviously we're an excitable bunch.

I'm not going to buy one, but I'm willing to talk about them. That's what we do here. :) |
Well I am planning on building an aero cap for my pickup and so when I was browsing the web I saw the new bug and thought I would put it against the template for fun and thought I would share my results.

We have a few New Beetle aero threads that are... ummm.... interesting. :rolleyes:

Well, Mr. Lee, I gave it my best shot.
