Post #9 shows an older Jetta but I seem to recall a Mk IV green Jetta too.
Thank you COcyclist! I recall studying that thread for ideas a while back too. Great pics! The 79.9mpg is pretty incredible, in fact... if those are US gallons (not imperial!) then doing that with my Jetta would get me 1,200 miles... Wow! That'd be nearly 2/3 of the way there! While I have the patience to drive slower, I don't quite have the patience to drive THAT slow (~47mph ) for 4,000 miles (round trip).
