One reason why i bought a beetle, was to get the gas mileage (im a college student) Well, i filled my tank to the brim (and them some...haha a good wipe job on the front fender and it was okay) and i am on "R" on my VDO gauge, and i only have 160 miles. I know i have about 1 gallon left in the tank. I already ran dry on gas, and when i put two gallons from a gas can, it took it up higher then R, to whatever the next mark is. What is up!?!? I have a 1776, and i do normally drive with higher RPMs, but still, approx 17 miles per gallon! I figure a higher performance engine would chug more, but not that much. I would be happy/okay if it were at least above 20. Whats going on?!
