Hello All,
I'd like to post my first thread saying THANKS! to all of you for posting your experiences on here so that we can learn together without having to run every single test for ourselves.
That being said, I currently drive an 02 Jetta TDi automatic (wife wanted to be able to drive it LOL I think twice in 7 yrs!) 80 miles round trip to work and back.It has been very good to me. I'm a mechanic by trade so I really stay on top of it.
My past mileage was a dismal 550mi per tank (15Gal) and saw 300mi when dead on half.I have a scan gauge which I just got back from a friend, so I can get back to it! Now learning to drive the real way after being a lead foot for so many years.
As of yesterday on my scan gauge I saw 55.8mpg on the drive from work. 9pm started outside 35 degrees ambient,40mi trip 55-60mph average AI temp of 62degrees.
Next up moons or pizza pans if I can find them and might try to skirt the rear wheels.I will add my mods to my signature when I figure out where that is.... LOL
