Rather depressing figures...

Post by albertramsbottom »

Just worked out my last 3 months motoring for MPG. I have been writting down all spent on fuel and I have calculated that my 2ltr Aircooled gets 15.80 miles per gallon. :cry:

It currently idles way to fast which will not help. I have booked in for a Gasure carb refrub so hopfully that will make a little difference

Cheers

I'm currently getting 30+ mpg with the subaru so it should have paid for itself by mmmmmmmmmm 2020ish. :lol:

had mine rebuilt by Steve at Gasure - too early for MPG figures but definitely accelerates smoother and as more oomph!
