There are a lot of apocryphal MPG figures out there for the 1.7L 914's. I was wondering what the factory said the MPG was. I poked around on the web and finally found a reference at Automobile Atlanta that George took from some ancient factory brochure. Here's the image:
 Pretty blurry! But you can see under the "Performance" section, the third entry is "Fuel Consumption", and it has a figure for the 1.7L. It's pretty hard to read, but if you blow it up, I've figured out that it's: approx. 26.2 mpg (9.0 l/100 km) If you use Google calculator, you can verify that 26.2 mpg is equal to 9.0 l/100 km, so it makes sense. There are no particulars on the driving conditions for this figure, it's probably reasonable to assume this is a combination of city and highway driving. Anyone else have other factory or EPA figures on the 1.7, 1.8, and 2.0L cars? |
