ERNIE ROGERS GETS 65+ MPG FROM HIS VW BUG
Posted 17th December, 2007 in Volkswagen | Leave a comment
Global warming solution finder Ernie Rogers is doing his bit by coming up with some pretty impressive figures from his 2003 Beetle TDI diesel.
Thanks to that rear spoiler which give the Beetle a better drag coefficient and improves fuel economy by 5 to 8 percent and the addition of lower-rolling-resistance tires, low-friction engine oil, and use of a B5 biodiesel blend fuel, Ernie has seen between 65 and 70 mpg on a test track.
On a long-distance (2,985 miles) trip from Salt Lake City to Anchorage in, Ernie used just 52.7 gallons of diesel, which equates to an amazing 56.6 miles per gallon for the entire trip.
