Replying to: tdigearhead (May 21, 2005 6:01 am) You got very good mileage on your TDI, what is your highway average speed which you get 50mpg? My average highway speed is 80mph for 21mpg.

#8 of 19 2004 NB Comvertible Tubo GLS - 6 Speed Tiptronic by empi Nov 03, 2005 (8:18 pm)
13.9 or 14 mpg - city driving 20 Hwy.   Very disgusted.   Had the computer checked twice. I do not drive like a maniac. My commute to work is 3 miles each way. Very unhappy. VW says nothing they can do. I am ready to sell it.

Convertible and 6 speed Tiptronic is very heavy, no wonder you only got 14mpg in city, my 2004 VR6 only get 22.5 mpg in 75% highway driving. (75mph)

Replying to: tdigearhead (May 21, 2005 6:01 am) EPA window sticker in 2003 was 42/49.   I have every tank full documented, lowest 44 mpg (75% freeway traffic, light to bumper to bumper), 48 highway average. Daily commute (20% city, 80% highway, range is 48-51 mpg, 50 mile R/T ) highest 62 mpg. 2003 TDI Jetta, 5-spd, app 68,000 miles   I lifted your format, just substituted my data.

#12 of 19 fuel efficiency vw golf tdi by mgregor Nov 04, 2007 (10:20 pm)
I'm looking at diesel Golfs. My priority with that car is fuel efficiency. I found a decent price on a used 2002 that's loaded with heated seats, 8 air bags, etc. Anyone know how much weight loaded features add and if you lose much in terms of MPG?

Replying to: mgregor (Nov 04, 2007 11:20 pm) A good rule of thumb is 1 mpg per 100#'s. So with the options you mentioned, almost negligible.   Some folks really do this kind of stuff as a hobby. I have heard of running the car with 1/2 tank of fuel, removal of rear seats, no spare tire or tools, etc, etc,.
