So those who have been around for a while will remember my posts. I sorta gave up and just settled I was going to get 30mpg no matter what in my car. Well about 3 months back I looked at the tire and the whole inside got eaten up very quickly. Whole front suspension besides inner tie rods had been replaced. Decided to just have them replaced and the shop even called me and told me there wasn’t any noticeable play. Had them replace them anyways. When they came out after a hard wack on the ground you could tell they were jamming up they were so worn. Needless to say after the inners got replaced I now get a solid 35mpg. It had been aligned before and showed good but I guess they would occasionally jam in the other direction throwing everything way off and causing drag.
Never would have thought they could cause that massive of a economy loss but I figured I would post Incase someone is lost trying to figure out the same.
If you find this post in a search later on, I think my beetle has had the most strange issues across this board and good luck getting your economy right
