This is probably a bit of a dumb thread but I'm looking for some real world input here. The only real difference in the cars should be the curb weight (and some minor drag differences?), but I'm wondering how much of an increase in fuel consumption I would see upgrading from my Golf to a Jetta Wagon. I could use the extra space, but I also driving about 40-50k kms (25-35k miles give or take) per year. Real world miles/tank input would be great, especially from someone whos owned both cars. I think the Jetta Wagon has a bigger tank though.
Anyways....thoughts/input?
