Golf MK2 1600 CL MPG
« on: 25 March 2008, 11:26 »
Does anyone know what sort of MPG can be expected from a 1600 Golf 8 valve with Pierberg 2E carb?

Im currently getting around 28 to 30 mpg with mixed driving, I would have expected a bit more.

I used to get 35-40mpg, but then I had the 4+e box.  Check out my 2e2 FAQ :)

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
