I just found this message. It was an 85. Turned up a bit. Its been a few years but the O200 was about 5 or 6 gals an hour. I had 12 gals in header and 2 , 4 gal tanks in stub wing. If i remember right there was only a 20 lb weight difference between the VW and the O 200 the performance was 130 mph on VW and 160 mph on O200. Plus reliability. I could cruise with a money 20E.
