28-32 mpg with my right foot on the floor aint that bad... :P -----Original Message----- From: Jim Verheul [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, April 07, 2003 1:57 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [a2-16v-list] Fuel Economy RPM range
Francesco, The lower the better, but you made need a higher 5th. Just as important is throttle position. Never put your right foot on the floor on either pedal (i.e. don't brake if you don't have to, never accelerate quickly, make only gentle changes to throttle position keeping it constant if you can). How fast is do most people drive (in Peru?)? Or do what I do: leave your 16v in the garage and ride a bicycle. You will have to drink and eat a bit more, but your car will drink nothing.
