It all depends on how the car runs. The timing, valves, carburetor or Fuel Injection, vacuum dist all have to be working right. You can get from 20 mpg to 30+mpg on a stock motor. If memory serves a 73 carb'd standard Beetle got 19 city 27 highway. Hot VWs is getting mid 30s mostly highway with a lot of mods. A lot of people report 30+ highway, but I would say a stocker in great shape would do good to approach 30 highway, dual ICTs can get you to 30+ highway. But a poorly tuned stock can have half it's original fuel economy. It all depends.
I owned a 71 SuperBug and the highway gas mileage was 28-32.

Luckily, the VW Jetta is one of th emost fuel efficient vehicles in the country. The gas mileage in the city for an automatic 2009 VW Jetta is 29MPG.
if it has a low mileage it can be a little expensive. i saw a add of a 1977 VW beetle with sunroof for about $15,000 it only has 512 in it's original mileage. to know more you can check some car classifieds on the internet.
it holds about 10.5 us gallons of gas
17.5 mpg. Loaded, up an down hill.
Based on my recollections of VW bugs around then, probably around 25mpg if you aren't driving flat out a lot.
