Your stock horse was about 40 horse. Your top speed should be determined by your front end, not your horse power. IF your engine is in good shape, she can make you go faster than you want to. So, check your brakes, and front end play, and then have fun.

The 1300 had an advanced cam and higher compression than the later 1500, so actually had the same 52 HP. The 1300 was only made in 1966, and had an extremely characteristic bell ringing sort of sound to it. Only the 1200 had 40 hp. The problem with the 1300 was that although it was zippy, it tended to crack pistons due to the extra compression.

Top cruising would be probably about 70 mph, and mileage should be good, around 32.How much HP does my Vw Beetle 1300 single port have?

id say 60-65 mph is a good cruising speed on the freeway and you should get about 28mpg highway 20-21 city and 24-25mpg combined (thats about what i get). remember to also not go too slow for the gear you are in, listen to the engine... it will tell you when to change gears up/down generally follow the little red hash marks on the face of the speedometer.



1st gear = 0-15

2nd gear = 5-32

3rd gear = 20-45

4th gear = 40-75



driving around at 30mph in 4th gear will heat the engine up since its air cooled and the fan is run by the speed of the engine, the lower the rpm the hotter the engine will be, just remember to listen to the engine, she'll let you know what to do
