So, working at the factory, are you building a VW on the side Johnny Cash style...?
I was wondering what kind of killer deal he got, never thought of that approach.

Finally Brent !! Glad you finally saw the light. I drove my 2013 TDI today for 423 miles all highway and interstate and the display showed 50.9mpg when I got home. That a better than a turbo Hayabusa huh?

Its really crazy the kind of fuel economy this car gets on the highway. I can't believe if VW advertised more about the super low cost to drive due to super high MPG they wouldn't sell a lot more.

I post on Facebook all the time about my economy and people are shocked. Maybe VW should put a screen on the rear trunk deck showing the current MPG. Turn that in as a new model idea Brent !!

I am loving it. Drove to Atlanta today. On the way down took it slow and was mindful of consumption it returned me with 54 mpg. On the way back I drove a lot faster Averaged 50.8. Pretty impressive considering the power increase over what my old 2001 jetta tdi had!


Have you gotten vag-com yet?
