I think that 25 mpg on the Chevette is about right.
Ed, re your lo-pow VW mileage: I was getting about 25mpg on MiGi but, my mileage improved significantly after I took out the 009 distributor and installed the factory SVA distributor. I decided to rebuild the engine before I got an accurate # but it was a very easily noticeable real i… -

I’m getting less than 25 with a low-po VW. Needs some carb love, I’m sure. Should be around 28-30 then. The guys claiming 40 mpg are rare, but they claim it so much that a Googler might think it’s typical mileage.The Chevette with a stick ought to do a little better than you’re reporting, I’d guess. The original car was rated at a combined 27,…[Read more]

Welcome, Dan.There are some TDs for sale here and there. I love the prices on these cars, as compared to the originals–or the Speedsters, Cobras, etc.The fun-per-$ ratio is off the charts.

I wish I could help here. My front engine Chevy 283 V8 is bored out, so gas mileage is probably not the greatest. My gas gauge stays on Full for about 7/8 of the tank full life, then drops like a lead weight to the empty zone. Plus, my odometer is not working, so I have no clue.

How many miles was that in each direction? A three-day trip sounds fun. I don’t know if my girlfriend would be up for the wind battering for that long. I say that’s time for the leather helmet and goggles. Silk scarf optional.

I wasn’t planning to head up a group order. When we chatted last time, a few months ago, she was going to offer the discount to anyone who identifed themselves as a club member. Her last question to me when I asked if she was still offering the discount was to ask how many shirts she would be looking at. I really don’t have the time to devo…[Read more]

Thanks for all your input guys!
I charged the old battery and took it to be load tested and sure enough it wasn’t holding the load, so now at least i don’t feel bad about replacing it. I had replaced it for the same reasons given by Ringo, its easier to replace it in my garage than somewhere out on the road.Hopefully between the new battery an… -
