The Truck (Retired) - '99 A3 Jetta TDI
90 day: 62.27 mpg (US)

The Guzzler - '08 Elantra GL
90 day: 33.09 mpg (US)

The Green Machine - '00 A4 Jetta TDI
+8.7% on the Elantra. The real adjustment probably is around 5% but I like to know the number I see is a worst case scenario.

The TDI is just not accurate on the scangauge. I just use it as a relative incidator to see how I'm doing between trips. It would need a different correction factor for each rpm. In fact, it the correction factor could be just a linear equation formula, it would be much more accurate.
