What are Jakes latest results for fuel econonomy? Jake Raby? Please explain!


I have been able to squeeze 38 average out of the 912E with a recent tune up, and it has 100K miles on it. At times I have gotten over 40 MPG out of it before when it had lower miles. I can say that drianing out the 21,000 mile oil (went that far on one oil change) was good for a solid 5 MPG! Before i spent a solid day servicing it I was down to 27 MPG at best, but it had been neglected since 2003 with hardly anything done to it...

This week I am finishing my wiife's "Super 2 Liter+" for her beetle vert... The first one did so well that I decided to boost this one and see what we could get mileage wise under nomal driving conditions with a female driver and about 200 ponies..

I have been witholding many of my results with the "Super 2 Liter" project engines simply because most of them have been unbelievable thus far.

A local TV station in Atlanta got word of it and has been on my ass to do an interview, but I could care less...

I am working to decrease the cost of these higher MPG engines, right now they are the most expensive thing in my line up, even more than a sub 2.8L engine-
