Hey guys. I just stumbled upon this site while looking up some tips to jump my fuel economy. I have a 2005 Volkswagen Golf TDI, and I'll be taking a road trip to Memphis, TN from Manhattan, KS soon. Just joined up to see if I could get any insight in addition to what I've already found. It's 575 miles, and I could probably make it on one tank but the less fuel I use, the better!

I'm a huge car nut and I like a fast and flash car as much as the next guy, but my little "Diesel Dub" hasn't given me any trouble for the 103,xxx miles I've put on it and I'm all about maxing its capabilities.

I'm taking this trip at the end of the week and I'm looking for some quick mileage boosters. I've already stripped out whatever weight I can. I'm about to look into taping off panel gaps and such.

Anyway, good to be here!
