RE: gas mileage

not much you can do
my sons beetle is the same way it would be nice if they put an overdrive in them you would up the mpg a ton

RE: gas mileage

You might want to check into a cold air intake, they help sometimes. Also, check the spark plug gaps and overall condition, wires and such. Bad spark plugs can be the cause of poor fuel mileage. Also other routine maintenance things like fuel filter, air filter, PVC valve, etc. They all add up.
