Answer by  rjs108 (310)

A 1971 VW Bug in good mechanical condition can be expected to get between 28 and 33 miles per gallon.

The 71' bug got a approximately high 20's to low 30's MPG with typical driving habits. Obviously putting your foot down hard would lower the rating, but this car was not made for putting your foot down. It was fun, but not fast.
