RE: MK1 KM-age [fuel consumption]

[Chris Coracini <Coracin@usdl.com>]

besides the fact that you have an auto and are mackin with the ladies,
is your gas tank leaking?  i noticed you said you fill it all the way
up, i can't fill mine up more that half way without leaving a
combustible trail behind me.  (i'm really careful not to piss off anyone
on the road now...).  needless to say, this would decrease mileage a
lot.

thing...
