should be cheaper to run than my 1.6.
carbs are sh*t on fuel

[sidecarphil]

my Mrs 1.3 does 1ltr to 13kms

better than my GTi which does 1ltr to 10kms

but who's counting eh ??

dont know how many kilometers per liter i do, but i got 300 miles from a tankful on my 1.6 driving normaly, and a gti should get about 250 from normal driving if its all set up properly.

as sharpie replied about my carb icing problems "get a gti", well ive taken his advice....sharpie, thats probably the most expensive bit of advice you've given here.

nice one.

my second bit of advice is not to buy an 8v.

You should be getting far more than that from a well set up digi, around the 400 miles mark is more like it.
