I have been looking at used Jetta TDI wagons, 2001 thru 2004 and have just driven a new 2011. Can anyone tell me the true mpg of the new (42 mpg ?) vs. the older model (up to 50 mpg) and if there are modifications that could be made to the new model to maximize the mpg? We are mostly long distance drivers.
Thanks,
Swanster :dunno

Well it will obviously depend on which engine it has. The max I've had out of mine is 43.83mpg even though Fuelly shows a bit less.



We do have a topic on fuel con.

BTW, I fixed your similie. When posting, you can click on the simile and it'll automatically be inserted. You can also use the [i m g] tag to insert the location. I spaced out the tag so that the forum wouldn't think I was trying to insert a picture.
