Yes, the multiple consecutive numbers are the mileage numbers at each mark on the fuel gauge. First number is when it finally moved off of full, last number is when the fuel light would turn on. I was a little anal on watching my fuel. At the time, I could almost tell how the weather was in...

I personally put about 130k miles on mine (and lots of mods) before I sold it at 348k miles

Mine consistently got better with more power, even maintaining over 50mpg in out Ohio winters. You can read more about it if you click on the ecomodder banner in my sig. Lots of details there. Best mod I ever did was swapping to a 5 speed with a taller 5th gear.

Best single tank I ever got with my 02 Jetta was 908 miles at 58mpg (highest ever mpg was 59.34). Lifetime average 49.4 Best single tank I ever got in my 02 insight was 789 mile at 70mpg after i finally fixed my faulty o2. then I sold it before running another tank, but that was on the way to...

Very nice. My Jetta has been with me in 45 of 50 states, and will hit 48 of 50 this year. Currently at 307k miles. How did you get yours to Hawaii, and how much did it cost?

To the OP, if you are only going for a few more MPG, just slow down. When I started modding my Jetta, I did so with the intention of at least keeping the same MPG or better. I have had 3 tanks over 900 miles, and had 10 straight tanks over 800 miles. It is possible, but only if I keep my...

Not sure how far south you are heading, but I really enjoyed Zion National Park

Where you heading? I just did a 9000 mile road trip about a month back during TDIfest

Wow, that's crazy. Small world indeed. I too graduated for Holgate Highschool

No Problem. Update for everyone. I got home way before expected. Last night actually 9000 miles 14 days. Yellowstone got snowed out for me, and I was already a day ahead of schedule when that happened. Also missed Pikes Peak because of rain and low cloud cover. I will upload and share...
