I believe the biggest difference is the particulate filter/regeneration and increased use of EGR on the Audi affecting the mileage.
So sorry, my mistake.
I was comparing mkiv jetta to mkvi jetta.
Completely missed that out was a3.

Anyone willing to share pictures of their diffusers ?

With a Malone stage 2, dpf delete and intake flappers delete I'm hearing of 6-9mpg increases......of course not on USA/EPA regulated roads
