Damn TDI

[lschultz]

711.7 miles 14.4gals=49.7 mpg I think I would of hit that 50+ if my wife would not have been driving it. 5-6 tanks before this one and it was 50 or better.
561 miles 30 gals=18.7 on my truck. So which one would you rockett scientists commute to work in.

Stop complaining. My STILL STINKY gets 15 around town and up to 19 on the highway...AND DIESEL HERE IN CALIFORNIA IS WAY OVER $2/gallon. I wish I had a Jetta TDI, but I don't.






























Fortunately my job gives me a fuel allowence so my cost is ZERO...

MY g/f comutes to work in her 03 Jetta TDI. She averages about 50 mpg. I recently put a Van Aaken box in it for a bit more oomph!

Wish I had a TDI right now. I doing about 110 miles to work and back. Gas here is $2.43 a gallon and diesel is $2.19 a gallon.

Nice numbers Larry, can't beat 50 MPG

I'm new to the group but not new to diesels. Our immediate family owns:
2004 Jetta Wagon TDI 2.0
1998 Jetta Sedan TDI
1989 Jetta Sedan Diesel
1987 Jetta Sedan Gasser
1983 Vanagon Wasserboxer Gasser

I own:

2 1981 VW Caddy Pickups
1993 Dodge W 250 Diesel
1993 W 350 Diesel
1999 Jetta New Body Style TDI

Diesel is the ONLY way to go. Dodge gets 23 mpg routinely
VW's do much better.

Swany, I can see you pimpin' a TDI V-dub on spinners. I drove a customer's for about 100 miles one day last week and it had more get up and go than I expected for an 02 auto. VA box and injectors would really get it moving.

Had a 2001 TDI, I'd rather be driving the PSD anyday.
