Huh interesting. What VW did in the 60s, when they went from 1200 to 1300 to 1500 to, finally, 1600cc engines was say to in their advertising, "The new larger engine actually gets MORE mpg!" Not really! My friend Mark had a 65 with the 12 eninge that got 38 mpg on the hiway. My 74 with the 1600 never did better than 33 and that was ONCE. Usually it got 28.
Now with (mostly) cheaper gas maybe they will put that turbo on the 1.4?  That's the ticket!
