It's about 2800rpms. Plus, I have a 3.94 Ring and Pinion. It used to be 4000rpms @ 75mph. Still got 30mpg...
Top speed in 2nd gear is 50mph to give you an idea of how short the 3.94 is.

So is that better or worse than the DE GTI? Cause that sounds about right.

you have problems if you get 22... Unless you're driving 120

I think I get about 22 in town, with a heavy foot. it could be because I have cams or chip tune but, I know my car isn't too rich. It was with the 4bar FPR!!
It was tuned on the dyno and the mixture was corrected, leaned out, and the timing was adjusted through out the RPM range. At least that was my experience.

I just filled up and got 19. but everything seems to be running OK. I need to take it on the highway a long distance to see if it works. I think mine is so low in town is because I stop so much.

4bar is stock for the Corrados.
