2.5L gas mileage

[yyzkrkr]

Hey there New Beetle people I have just signed up to this great website and I am the proud owner of a 2007 Platinum Grey Metalic Beetle with a manual 5 spd. I was wondering what kind of gas mileage anybody else is experiencing with theirs. I am working on 25mpg in city with about 7,000 miles on the odo. When I first bought her I was only getting about 21 city but after the first oil change she has bumped up a bit. I can't keep from grinning when I am driving or from full on smiling when I zip past someone and see the surprise on their face in my rear view mirror when my little car slips right on by. thought I would stop by and say HI.

IDK about city but highway I have seen as much as 38 to 40. I have a five speed also. Isn't it great to get the slip up on other cars when they don't expect it out of a beetle.

Did a quick in and out between O'Hare Field and downtown Milwaukee yesterday. Ran between 70-75 the entire way. Filled up before leaving and again when we got home. Averaged 33.6mpg. I'm happy.
