MK1 KM-age [fuel consumption]



Hey
I just figured out my fuel consumption today,
It's pretty WEAK!! I can't beleive it...

Here are my recent stats, note I use Supreme, and fill to the brim.

Nov 23 :  22.50$   35.87L   222km
Nov 28 :  21.50    33.75    251
Dec  1 :  22.00    35.00    208
Dec  5 :  22.00    34.54    217


Well in those alone I averaged 22 bucks a tank (canadian) but only 
rolled for 224.5 km a trip. That works out to 6.453 km/L or something 
like 15 mpg -- yeah no shit!

Here's what I account some of this to:
I had a new engine installed (1992 1.8L 8v GTI)
I'm running a heavy sub box (150lbs) in the trunk
I weigh 200 lbs and drive with at least 2 to 4 other females in the car 
at most times (shoved in the back seat)
I've got about 50 lbs of dynamat all over the car
My tires are as bald as my dad's head
And I drive pretty damn fast -- even with the automatic I have in there 
-- you've heard my stories about unmarked popo SUV's...

Now what should I be checking out in the engine compartment?
Ie: what's next on my christmas list??? ;)

A pretty damn po'd,
