How's it going everyone? A couple weeks ago I purchased a Certified ("fixed") 2014 VW Jetta TDI DSG from a dealer chain I work for. I had a 2007 VW Jetta 2.5 that was totaled, so the 2014 is meant to replace the 2007. I have wanted a TDI for a few years now (I had a friend who owned a 2015) due to incredible gas mileage/range that some owners are getting (550-600+ miles per tank).
On my first full tank, I got about 400 miles out of it. Is this something I should be concerned about or should I give it a few more fill-ups before being worried? I have about a 5-6 miles commute to work, however I do a decent amount of driving in general which is probably 60% "city" and 40% highway. I do live in Ohio and it has been 45 degrees one day and -1 degree the next day -- sounds hard to believe but feel free to verify, lol. I'm not sure if that is a factor, or if it's because of "winter" diesel or what. If anyone is from Ohio, is there a diesel fuel provider/station that you prefer to use that offers the most consistent diesel fuel?
Any help would be appreciated as I'm new to VW diesel ownership.
Thank you!
