    Is 42 mpg the best I'll get?

    I average 40-42mpgs on my 2010 DSG. I have gotten as good as 46mpg on a tank. But I realized the more I drove it for MPGs the more it started going down. You have to beat on it a little I have noticed. I have 3900 miles now. I can get 46-48 average if I wanted, But till I get more miles I will...

    Rear lip spoiler

    I have the spoiler from factory. I have gotten 54mpg with mine. It's just the car. Some days I can get 52-54mpg at 55mph and other days only 47-49mpg at 55mph. But I usually see better gas mileage after dogging the hell out of the car. I just drive now. After 10k-15k miles I will worry about...

    weight / fuel economy study

    My brothers boss owns a VW dealership and has told me that the rear crash test safety rating was achieved by having a full size spare in rear to absorb the impact of a 45mph hit from the rear (what they are tested at). You are not only losing piece of mind but you are losing safety also. It was...

    Wow... just Wow!

    Yes. Buddy of mine with a Cummins see's a 2-3mpg difference. I saw no fuel difference, but I am still learning how to drive for max fuel economy. I went from 37mpg first tank, 39mpg second tank, and 41mpg third tank. So I am seeing improvements. All that matters to me.:)

    new guy with a 2010 jetta tdi needs some tuning help

    My New 2010 Is amazing I love it. Put 1000 miles on it already. Very nice inside and out. Only option I didnt get was nav/dvd, since i would never use it. I am going to wait till about 5000-7000 miles before I put a tune on it. Best car I have ever bought. MPG pays for the vehicle, its a no brainer.
