Hello! So after a few months of driving my beloved 2003 Jetta Wagon (ALH, 5 speed) it would seem that my fuel economy is "backwards" compared to the published specs; on medium and long trips at 60 to 70mph on the highway I average in the low 30's and around town I can get as high as an average of low 50's across 10-20 miles of driving on surface streets. Has anyone experienced this before? What should I look at to start trouble shooting this?
Note: my economy measurements are based on a Scan Gauge and cross referenced with some pretty loose arithmetic. I've filled up and dialed in the scan gauge each time, but it seems to always need at least a slight correction at each fill up.
Let me know if any more information is needed!
