Just bought a 05.5 Jetta TDI in San Fransico and drove it back to the Yukon average speed 60 mph and obtained 47.5 MPG!!! Drove the 6 inches of fresh snow on the way with summer tires FUN!:)

__. What time of the year did you see 6" (or is that 14.1765 cm????) of fresh snow on the roads? What roads did you drive north? I'm planning an "Al-Can" summer next year and the last thing I want is "summer == snow"!!!!

funny, I bought a 04 Jetta TDI wagon in Anchorage and drove it south about 3 weeks ago. No snow, but plenty of frost heave to challenge the suspension. Now I'm going to get a skid plate, and you might want one also, as the ice chunks off the trucks can destroy your oil pan.
