Okay I just bought a v2012 VW Jetta TDI DSG for my wife and I. We love the car its a great car so far in the few weeks we have owned it. There is just a few problems im having and a few questions. 1. we have filled it up twice since owning it and the first time mpg was about 36 and second 35. now it is good but still not as great as others im hearing about and as everyone would tell me it would get at least around 40. this driving is a pretty even mix of highway and city. these are numbers i get when i fuel up but the numbers on the dash say 38 or 39 avg mpg. which is more accurate??? it really upsets me when im expecting 40+ but im only getting 3 more mpg than our previous dodge neon sxt, that was paid off and only $5k . can anyone enlighten me on maybe something they did to the car or if it got better over time? the dealer said it only takes 500 miles to break in the engine but i know as a mechanic myself that it takes at least 3000. 2. how is the mpgs measured on the car is it by fuel flow and mileage or speed and mileage or rpm or what.
3. and my last question. is there any plug and play chips on the market right now for more power? and can the DSG trans handle much more? and is there any better exhausts? turbo back? i want to eliminate as much emissions stuff as i can off of the car as i know they severely hinder economy and performance and decrease longevity of an engine.
