Nope a Zuki, 95 model. Get 25+ mpg around town, 30+ in the summer. I drive all week before the gas guage even moves. SO about $60/month for gas. The house, more like 90 to 100 month for gas - but then the gas company has raised the rates 45% in the last two years. I cant live in the Zuki, no shower : )

I used to drive a Bug (old school) but the little Zukies with a 1600cc engine do the Bug a lot better - better milage, a heater that works (big deal here in Anchorage) and of course, 4X4. Oh, and an AM/FM radio.

Yup, The VW’s were good cars but they had loose tolerances and wasted a bunch of energy compared to todays cars. The old beetle was like 20 Mph

I get 20 Mph from a dodge ram pick up

LOL! VW stories of the drive to grammas in the Catskills (no heat) are legend around here.
