Subject:New Engine Gas Mileage Report
From:Robert Stewart
Date:Tue, 20 Oct 2009 18:03:52 -0400

So I just got done with my 1st 1,000 miles on my 2.1L auto 1988
Wolfsburg.

Before the rebuild I would be average on a full tank down to nothing
200 miles per tank, note that this with with poor compression on 2
heads.

With the rebuild now I am seeing 320 miles! I just filled the tank
with 14 gallons of gas which means I am getting close to 22.8MPG.
Which seems amazing.

Can anyone tell me if this is normal or above average?
