Replying to: mgregor (Nov 04, 2007 11:20 pm) The heated seats and airbags make no difference as all TDIs have the airbags. My 03 TDI has all options (except for the automatic, which is not a good choice with the TDI). I regularly best the EPA numbers. Lately, with higher fuel costs, I have lowered my highway speed to 67 mph. With the general slowdown I have noticed out there, it is not too slow for most traffic conditions. And my highway mpg has gone from just over 50 to between 55 and 60 mpg.

I have had my 2003 Golf TDI for almost 6 years. I have noted every filling. During the first 5 years my yearly average has been 49.5 MPG. Last year I began hypermling. I do not like the term and the phrase ecodriving For economy and ecology). Last year I averaged 58.5 MPG and over 700 miles per tank. I hope to improve upon this this year.
