[QUOTE="K@rlos, post: 581413, member: 4304"] Stock motors are shit on fuel, you gotta think your really working that little 1600 to lug a boxy and heavy fully loaded bus. In a bug they are good but a bug is 680kg or so? A bus is a lot more. My 2110 stroker with 48 IDF's does about 30 mpg on a run but mines a more highly strung engine than Sparkywig's, we both do have high ratio gearboxes which also helps. However as he also if you nail it the mpg does drop, I drove home from my girlfriends parents 1 night which is 11 miles to mine. I was pulling 7000 rpm in every gear and used nearly 1/2 a tank.
