Great job, keep it up!

I really miss my 01 Jetta. I now have a 2010 JSW with 6 speed. Much bigger and more comfortable, but Im only getting in the low 40's currently. Still under 10000 miles so hopefully it will keep improving.

11 airbags, ABS, leather upholstery, sunroof, Monsoon sound system, auto trans, 4 wheel disk brakes (heavier as a system than drums), and probably some other needless things I'm forgetting. Not to mention there is a weight penalty just from the diesel engine.

Moving all that crap in my ALH, I have gotten a best of 42.3mpg / 640 miles out of a tank. Not too impressive compared to some of the others, but the highway I drive routinely becomes a parking lot. This is also with the engine pan removed, and an intermittent temp too low code.
