I also drive an 83 Rabbit GTI:

avg gas mileage: 27 mpg
  (speeds:0 -> 75; streets and freeways; commutes and short trips)

the only long trips have been from SF to Lake Tahoe (~400 roundtrip)
with speeds up to 70mph (average 60-65mph)
gas mileage: 31 mpg

The worst gas mileage I got was driving at Sears Point Raceway--
though the starter was also defective (and subsequently replaced)
with speeds up to 80 mph (up to 6500 rpm)
gas mileage: 18 mpg

This car conforms to California emission standards
