RE: Hello List

[Robert von Bismarck <rvb@petrel.ch>]

I have to agree with both of you, my 8V ('83 GT 1600ccm) has pretty good
torque when I really step on it (watch those Gti drivers try to keep up
with me ;-), but the mileage sucks. I get about 450 - 470 km with one
full tank of 42 liters (or was that 44 ?) when driving on the highway,
in town traffic it's muuuuch worse, like 380km with a full tank. This
car has been made to go fast and far on a highway in 5th gear...That's
what I bought it for anyway ;-)

	<<  Personally I prefer the 8V, 
	 more low end torque, better gas milage, >>

	Call me crazy but I have to argue with the gas mileage part.  I
actually
	sorta kinda like 8 valves better but I get 35 or 36 consistently
on the
	highway out of my 16V and only about 27 from my 8V.  Now of
course, I admit
	that my 8V is a total piece of junk but about 10 of my best buds
drive 8
	valves and none of them can touch me on the highway with their
mileages.
	 What was with EC sayin the project Scirocco only went a little
over
	200somethin miles before fill up?????  Did anybody else notice
that?  I have
	gone 380 miles on a tank before. doh.  later
