So, you've finally given in to real hypermiling-cars.

Its going to get some 195/50/15's fitted, a full service then a full tank to baseline it.

If you don't have them yet or need to replace 'm , consider 185/60/15 - they're 4.6% bigger that the 195/50 - and you can get them as the Nokian eLine - first EU AA rated tyre on the market ... if you really want to go all the way

The EPA fuel economy for the 1.9TD Jetta (closest model in America) is 34/44 with combined 38.

Your goal should not be above 4L/100km ... (or better than 59 mpg US)
That's what they can get.
Unmodded, and not extremely hypermiled.
