There is a Bumblebee for sale on Ebay. The ad says: ".....expect to get between 35-40 miles per gallon......"
I would expect a tuned 2.0 to get in the high 20's. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-914-LE-197...=US_Cars_Trucks |

I used to drive from Hollywood to Santa Cruz every other week in the early 80's and would regularly get 38 MPG. I would pull up to the back of at big truck going 70 and draft it from the bottom of The Grape Vine (Hwy 5) to Hwy 152! Of course the roads were in much better condition than they are now and the trucks were not restricted to 55 MPH so I don't think you could do it now without a broken windshield and chips in your paint!
