How many mpg does a mk1 golf 1.8 1987 cabrio carb do?
I'm planning to drive to Wolverhampton to Portsmouth which is approx 3 hours and my petrol gauge doesn't work…. So I'm needing to know how many mpg I roughly get so how much to put in.
Thank you in advance if you can help!

I'm guessing if it's all running well then 30-35 mpg? I've only had 1.8 injection, not carb so guessing a bit to be fair.

Guessing you'll be doing 400 miles or so (plus whatever when you get there) I reckon you're in to 1.5 tank fulls, 2 worse case.

Best thing would be to see how many miles you get off your next tank of fuel to check the MPG ;)

Or fix your fuel gauge. It cant be a big job surely?
