[Vwdiesel] Fw: Mileage test of Rabbit 1984 --- ( Smileage (fwd)

[David Cook]

Val-

Very interesting.  I've never tested lower speeds (or,
really high speeds either) but I usually travel about
75 mph, and on the highway typically see about 42 mpg.
 

This is in the Cabriolet with the top down for over
half the trip of about 270 miles.  On a trip with it
up the whole way going about 80, I saw 43.

I'm glad to see this is pretty normal.
