Should be getting good mileage already! One suggestion is to switch to an electronic ignition distributor or conversion kit installed in the distributor. Pertronix makes a good setup, follow their advice. A performance exhaust is easily done and can give better mileage also.
No,fuel filters come stock on a bug.
The gas mileage of a 1964 bug depends on if you have had a new engine put into it, on average a 1964 bug has a 1450cc-1500cc engine in it. Meaning it will have around 50-56 hp. The lower the horse power, the smaller the engine. If you have a 10% smaller engine you get about 6% higher gas mileage. If your slug bug has an ac kit it lowers gas mileage by 3. On average a 1964 bug will have 28-36 mph
28-30mpg :)
I owned a 71 SuperBug and the highway gas mileage was 28-32.
the fuel gauge is incorporated inside the speedo meter in the super bug.
My 73 gets 38mpg in town
madd scooter is so better. A JD bug is better if you are younger as it is a lot lighter
"R" on the fuel gage means "Reserve".
roughly 28 to 30 mpg ,totally stock unaltered engine
You don't because there isn't one. Cam drive on a 1974 Bug is done through a big gear riveted to the end of the cam, that engages a gear on the crank.
10 gallons.
It needs an IRS Bug transmission. Any Bug from 1969 until end of production will have the right transmission in it.
