You can improve the milage with thngs like
1) Better carboration (stock carbs. were not very good on economy because in the 60's they didnt have to be).
2) Electronic ignition (keeps the points and timing right)
3) Monthly oil changes (clean oil = cooler oil = better mileage and engine life)
4) Check your valve clearance at least twice a year.
.How many miles per gallon does a 1965 VW bug get ?It's 31 mpg highway. I'd be more worried about any costs associated with buying such an old car. Replacement part costs can really drive up the price, especially if the deal is as-is. Sometimes some parts will work fine for a while, i.e. a couple of weeks, then problems will arise. Always be weary of car sales and take the necessary precautions, such as getting a history report.How many miles per gallon does a 1965 VW bug get ?If you don't have mechanical abilities get a honda. these cars need maintenance. they were designed when labor was cheap and parts were expensive. Now both are expensive. There is a list of things to do every oil change, like adjust the valves and brakes. these things need to be done or the car won't last you very long. Most of todays mechanics have never worked on one or haven't worked on one for decades, and they are completely different from even other engines of the same era.
