To not clutter up the other thread.
Here is my VW. The boat I was just moving around never took it fishing in the bug.


I was looking for a Jetta and got a smoking deal on the bug had 125k miles on it when I got it. Its got almost 300k miles on it now. I went diesel as MPG is mid 40's stock. With mods I get an honest 48 and can get 50 plus with smart driving. Also I ran Jet A in it for 3-4 years when I worked out the local airport. We would sump aircraft and couldn't reuse the fuel so they had to pay to get rid of it so... I started running it in my car. Worked great added a qt of 2 stroke and some Power Service. Cost $4 to fill up! I only got 45mpg with Jet A has it has less BTU content then Diesel hence the MPG gap.
