I drive 110 miles round trip every day. Usually at 75-80 mph. In a week or two I'll have my 02 Jetta TDI on the road in search of aerodynamic improvements and the best mileage I can get while going fast.

Hope I can learn something here.
Look at what Tasdrouille achieved with his jetta TDI : http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...enge-4805.html
The 60+ Vehicle modifications for better fuel economy - EcoModder.com page will also help.

Don't forget to create your car in the garage and to fill-up its fuel log, this is a great tool to see how you are improving and to motivate yourself. Eco-driving is also a great tool so you should read the 100+ hypermiling / ecodriving tips to increase gas mileage - EcoModder.com page.

Have fun,

Denis.
