572 miles
39.5 mpg
I have had my Golf TDI since June and have just over 17,500 miles. I was curious since most people say diesel engines get better with time to see how many miles I could get out of that 14.5 gallon tank. I really was not going out of my way to conserve fuel, and just drove a little (5-10) over the speed limit wherever I went. This was a good mix of highway, back country roads, and city driving. I ran the tank the lowest I have yet and for about 5 miles when my fuel gage said I had 0 miles remaining. What is everyone else getting? By this I mean realistic everyday driving and not coasting down hills.
