This is the difference between 10 mile trips in the winter and all highway @ 70 MPH in the winter. Those short trips were 36 to 38 MPG. Das right folks, 30% mileage hit.

First full tank with the remapping, 46.6mpg is not bad at all considering I'm sure I've abused the power a little this first week.

Filled up at 159,999 - was sitting on 160,000 by the time I crossed the street and parked at work

Comments:

***?! In the last 1,000 miles or so, I changed the oil (0w40), the oil filter, the fuel filter and my wheel/tire combo. I know ...you're thinking that the wheels did it because I went baller for the summer. Nope. I went from 17's on 225/45-17 rubber to 16's on 205/55-16 tires. I saved unsprung weight! Haven't turned on the air, yet. Don't drive on the highway with the windows open. This is baffling.

lots of short 1-3 mile city trips with a couple of 200+ highway trips over 10000' ft passes.
36-37? not so good for a tdi but 1st fill up for my car and over 500mi not bad. I also hit the vent button many times while filling up, another gal maybe.

Model Year: 1998
Model: Jetta
Tranny: 5M
Fuel Type used: BP Amoco Premium ULSD with 48oz of new canola oil and 12oz of some older leaded, oxygenated racing fuel from last season. So, that probably makes it something like a B3 going in but something more toward a B2 going in tank with the remainder of regular diesel left before fill up.
