[T3] carb can't get good mpg?

[James Lingenfelter]

I have to say, since you guys seem a little incredulous at my carb  
claims, that this set of Weber 34ICT's is now my favorite setup I've  
ever had on a VW. From talking to other people with the same carbs,  
they apparently have a reputation for: reliability, never needing  
adjusting or synchronizing; and for fuel economy. So I don't think  
it's just me. And don't think I'm promoting just ANY dual carb  
setup.... I know all too well the massive problems they can bring on.  
In fact, until I bought this car, I always swore off dual carbs. I am  
now a believer..... but at this point, ONLY in the Weber 34ICT's.
