I had a 1980 VW Rabbit diesel, the 1.5L with 50 whole horsepower. It was a two-door, white, A/C, 4-speed, and I got better than 60 mpg on the freeway at 60 to 70 mph, and she was purring at 65; the sweet spot. That car never let me down, ever, and running around town doing errands, running her hard, I got a solid 45 mpg! I bought it used from an Audi dealer who took it on trade; they practically gave it to me because they thought they would never sell it; in fact, a wholesaler had already put in a bid for $1000; I offered $1200 cash on the spot, and they bit like a starving dog, LoL. At the time, it was 4-years old with 18,300 miles on it, not a scratch. In 1995 a mechanic friend offered me $2000. I let him have it, and he still has it to this day. I need to mention that the A/C took half the wind out of the thing, but on the highway, unless you're are in hilly terrain, it was fine, but around town, be sure to look both ways before pulling into traffic; it takes a bit of time to get going. It's best to turn it off until you get up to speed and kick it on.
