I purchased a certified pre owned 2013 Jetta TDI 6spd just two weeks ago. I filled up once so far, and with the dealer fill, I got a somewhat underwhelming 38mpg(6.2 l/100km) in my all highway commute. I was expecting at least low 40's just because I don't idle the car, I drive for economy, A/C is never on, and my tires are above the recommended PSI rating. My MFI computer is saying about 41mpg on the extended period mode. I am keeping track of regens on my scan guage and it's done 3 in two weeks(600 miles). I came from a 2015 Golf 1.8t which got the EXACT SAME mileage. I bought this car because of my longer highway commutes, lower ownership costs, lower payments and better fuel economy, but yet, this car seems to be costing me the same as my Golf was. Is there something wrong with the car, or is this normal economy?
