Gotta love the Jetta

[jeepit]

Just purchased a Diesel Jetta 2 weeks ago and had to fill the tank for the first time today. Got 43. 3 MPG. I think I like this :-laf

They are cool little cars. My wife drove one for 6 years. Had hardly any problems and got over 40 on the highway, and over 50 if staying under 60 on the flats. Went to get a new one in 04, but they were not available in CA anymore.



Here is a fun place to waste some time learning more about your new car.

I love ours, the Beetle and the Jetta. Just got back from a 1250 mile business trip through Montana and Wyoming and averaged 38 MPG running 75-80 MPH in the Jetta. The little turbo diesel pulled the mountain passes very well and did not downshift like a gasser would.

GFritsch, yes I have been on tdiclub many times already. Not as nice as the TDR site though

Yup, have an 06 Jetta Pkg 2. Have a VA box on it.

Awesome car!

If its an 05 or 06 jetta, don't trust the MPG on the dish, unless you adjust the ECM with VAGcom, its reads as far as 7 mph high!

Fred's is a nice place. I been a member there before coming here. There is more knowledge at Freds then at the VW dealer.

I hand calculated from mileage traveled divided by gallons of fuel.
