Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I have an 88 GL with 4-speed manual and for the first 7 years I would enter gas ad mileage in a program to keep track of it and was getting an average of 16.73 mpg. It was predominately city stop & go driving and I generally liked to zip around which irritated the other drivers that didn't expect a VW to pass them on a hill.

My old '84 got 20mpg. I recently bought a "91 that's an automatic. I find out
now it only gets 16mpg. Aside from a tune -up, any ideas on how to increase
it?
