if we drove like we did in our gas guzzle than suddenly found ourselves driving a gas
efficient model don’t you believe we’d be saving ourselves a bit of sanity as we zipped
by the empty tanks of the past — that be the day

if we continue to drive the same conserving way we did in our gas guzzler than suddenly
find the same driver driving a gas efficient vehicle don’t you think there’d be some rewards to reap in — good luck to all you chaps I will be chugging right behind you in my relic as it too grows with each yr. passing

VW customer service sucks and be prepared to be gouged and bent over barrel to gain entry to TDI club. I have been waiting for almost 7 months for a base comfort line 4th auto tdi, and was told to grab my ankles to the tune of 31k plus tax in Ontario Canada vs 22500 in PA, USA.

I’m thinking of getting a Jetta TDI. I’m currently driving a BMW X5 4.4 and just cannot take the amount of gas im going through, it’s ridiculous. I’m at $110 per week and I’m lucky if I get 400kms to a tank. Enough is enough. The Nissan leaf isn;t available yet, so I’ll make due with a Jetta TDI. Liking the numbers I’m seeing. I cannot even imagine filling up once every 3 weeks. Mind boggling. Thanks for the info guys!

just hit 30k in our 2009 tdi, with a 50/50 split we are averaging 5.8l/100km and it continues to go down.

sweet spot for speed at least for the older 1.9 tdi was around around 95 km/hr. Just watch the MFD for real time feedback for speed vs consumption.

I live in a hilly part of the world so find it difficult to duplicate driving conditions for fuel consumption testing purposes. Does anyone know what the sweet spot is for hwy driving speed, as far as maximizing economy? I drive a 2010 TDI Golf wagon.

Max MPGS for TDI
Having driven TDIs both manual and DSG for over 10 years,
I’ve learned well. To share:
1 – travel with what you “really” need on board
2 – always use VW diesel conditioner with your fuel
3 – best diesel Shell V Power, it’s worth the extra + air miles
4 – clean car with proper inflated tires, clean oil/filter and air filter
5 – CRUISE control is your best friend … ~ 108 km/hr on highways (with windows closed and your air cond. on)
Our best run was out to the east coast 1175 kms and there was 1/8th tank still left at refill time!
Torque Rules & VW TDIs Rock!
Cheers
