I'm T3rry. Just picked up a 2013 Jetta 2.0 TDI today. It's a buy-back refurb with 71k miles. (read- clean af) I'm hyped. The old Mk4 is getting donated to the Paralyzed Vets. I'm leaving on Thursday morning for a 6-day 2500-mile solo road trip. Ohio-Knoxville-ATL-NOLA-TBD. The last two days are unscripted. Any suggestions?

1984 Jetta MK2 +
1995 Passat VR6 +
2007 Jetta MK4 +
2013 Jetta 2.0 TDI +

= The last 22 years of my driving life

Thanks! First day of the trip. Topped it off before I left home. Tried to be diligent about the venting. First tank got me 520 miles at exactly 40mpg. Computer was reading 43. I did get a bit exuberant on the road. I was following a Mustang GT and we were stuck behind a slowass in the fast lane. I knew Ford-boy was going to gun it when the slow-ass moved out of the way. I accelerated with him. When I look down I was at 100 and I was “Woah” and backed off. Fun times.
