fuel tanks

[J. Lyons]

Hello all,

It seems to me that my CGT Turbo holds 15 US gallons, my 4KCSQ  holds 17 US
gallons. Granted I have never run either car bone dry (come close though),
there may be an extra gallon in reserve.

Best milage to date:
CGT w/and without turbo 320 miles full tank, 380 miles 4KCSQ full tank.
21.3 mpg CGT, 22.3 mpg 4KCSQ.

The Quattro seems to get better milage (1 mpg more) even being heavier.
The CGT Turbo actually regularly sees about 19 mpg (due to a heavy right
foot).

Regards,
J. Lyons

not really.  more wheel drive means poorer fuel economy, so a bigger
tank gets the same range.
