Early VWs did NOT have a gas gauge … only that lever to flip to get another 25-30 miles, which would hopefully get you to a station. My buddy had an old VW as his 1st car .. 40 HP. He’d have to downshift to 2nd to make it up hills if all 4 of us (our HS clique) were in the car at the time. Good memories.
