For those still playing

Core data scattered between 18-22, mean of 19.8, std dev of 2, range of 23, 35 mpg removed by FU test.

Lies, damn lies, statistics, Samba posts.

Ahh the appeal to spite, many posters claim +30 mpg.
The factory advertising says 33mpg for era.
Keep up the good work.

I averaged gasoline entries only.

EPA ratings for the first FiJ Bus, 1975 is 18 city, 25 highway. These were typically not achieved in driving, so they are in line with reports here.

Posters claims of over 30 mpg gasoline are ignorable to those based in reality.

we will calibrate a 35 mile loop, your speedo, GPS and 1 US gallon of gasoline.

I want to see the results as any average bus owner would drive a bus. not some kick it in neutral, shut the bus off and coast for 1/4 mile bullshit...real world averages here

if I am wrong, you win. if I am right, I want double my money back. let me know how you want to proceed. and to make it fair...YOU have to get 35mpg out of it, and I have to get 35mpg out of it...just to prove it is possible.

Kinda funny, really. My claim for mileage isn’t much over the advertised rates for a 70 panel. I’ve stated I don’t drive in over loaded conditions and my few bolt on mods make it simple to try yourself. Some guys like driving their fat grandma purses around I guess.

1970 owner's manual lists 22,6 MPG US as standard here:

... and that's actual measured consumption PLUS 10%, half load, at 53 MPH on a flat road, as it states. If you're getting 35 MPG something is way the hell wrong. My guess is your mileage counter is way off.

anyone who claims 30 MPG with 9 people in the bus or with a camper kit is a liar. Unless their engine is running so lean that it is running off of fumes alone, Most should expect anywhere between 19-25 MPG for a Bus. For T1, it will get better MPG solely off of less weight.

This is the Bay window forum. Please remove all data from T1, which aren't being discussed in this thread, and just post Bay Window Bus data or ads.

If you don't have any such data supporting >30 mpg consumption of a Bay Window Bus in real world conditions, then retract your statements.

Because motortrend listed a squareback as having 32 average mpg in the 69 model year?
With the exact same engine I claim to have reached similar numbers, probably even a universal case.
But thanks for bringing politics into it,
Facts don’t matter here, got it.

And remember FI didn’t get better mileage George.

It’s too bad you weren’t around for quality gas.



I’m surprised none of you geeks came up with a formula that shows the fuel economy lost to save the environment with oxygenated gas compared to the OG formulation.
That’s the only coralation I see valid, blaming history as a lie in pretty thin.
Or maybe none of you understands basic wrenching skills.

I remember when I rebuilt my carbs and fuel mixture screws were profiled different for the different specific gravity of the new fuels in (1990) compared to the German mixture screws from the 60’s.
Yeah I’ve been doing this longer than most here.

Irony
Still better than anybody’s getting, but hey I’m a unicorn.
And ironically enough I said “ads”, VW advertising agrees with me.
And well so does motortrend.
Big fricking snore as usual.
I hope all you’re kids are in the debate club, reality is bigger than a bleep screen.

FYI
My bus scaled at 400lbs over a bug or squareback. Radial lt tires, 20/50 castrol
Stock height, performance shocks.
It’s really too bad simpletons can’t math the bolt on gains over stock.

And euro, you with your research about me on the net.
In one post you hit every claim about me, all by yourself.
If you’re lucky maybe I’ll teach a class when I don’t have anything better to do.
You and your “friends” are unhinged to say the least.

If I was the only guy who claimed these numbers maybe, but guess what? There’s a search feature here.

https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?p=8909486#8909486

If you need me I’ll be laughing my ass off, passing you carrying more and getting better gas mileage.

It seems that engineers decided to focus on making cars more efficient than improving the gas productivity at combustion. But then again, do you blame big companies? I don't think we can blame a generation of people. Big companies wanted to introduce planned obsolescence and percieved obsolescence. VW is no different. But obsolescence was much more ethical back then than it is now with technology making things become ticking time bombs.

However, we also improved technology and over time we have made 4-cyl engines achieve upwards of 50mpg on what some today may call "crappy gas" compared to gas back in the 1950's or so.

In a carbureted application there is no mileage lost to oxygenated fuel unless you have rejetted to correct the slightly lean condition that oxygenated fuel creates.

It's the fuel injected vehicles with Lambda sensors that lose mileage with oxy fuel as the O2 sensor sends a 'lean' signal to the computer which then compensates in real time. In stock Bays, this would be 1979 models only IIRC.

Oxy fuel was first brought out as a way to reduce carbon monoxide pollution from carbureted vehicles. When I lived in Seattle, it was a winter-only thing to compensate for the increased amount of time older vehicles spent on the choke in colder weather, spewing out the CO.

Oxy fuel continues as a boondoggle and a big giveaway to the corn farmers and Archer Daniels Midland.

Here's some real world data regarding Bay gas mileage:

http://www.fuelly.com/car/volkswagen/kombi/1971/melville/139872

http://www.fuelly.com/car/volkswagen/campmobile/1974/melville/91806

The Kombi was quite close to stock. 34 PICT and a stock cam on a Berg 1679 kit. The Westy had a CS clone mit Kadrons.

So when you're ready to have us believe you, please post up your logbooks from your 500K miles at 35 mpg.

26 MPG on a Bug isn't 30 in a Bus. A Split isn't a Bay.

I started my apprenticeship 43 years ago last month. Even when I was in retail district management it was automotive division so I'm not understanding your point.

Don't give me the "before gas was oxygenated" bullshit either because I've probably been driving for close to your lifespan. Wink

Rodney you're a good guy and a great debater but I am a master debater. Wink

Fuck Motortrend. I go with what the manufacturer claims.

I’m pretty sure I averaged about 240 miles per tank, for the win.

Guess George used up one of his brownies for that fail.

I’m pretty sure I averaged about 240 miles per tank, for the win.

Guess George used up one of his brownies for that fail.


So in a Bay, that would be about 15 mpg if you got all the way to E every time. As much as 20 mpg if you got to 1/4 full as a regular thing.

Show your log book if you want anyone to believe you.

Maybe the lighter weight small fuel tank in your bus helps Wink
