Just trying to decide which way to go. Have a 2003 Jetta TDI w/90,000mi and might be interested in someting bigger. Any news if the Passat TDI is in the US future ?
70 liters is 18.5 gallons so therefore your overall MPGs are 500/18.5 = 27 MPG and your HWY MPGs are 563/18.5= 30.4 MPG which makes sense if you consder the EPA rating on that vehicle.PlaneCrazy said:Or if you MUST get a Passat...there are worse gas engines out there than the 2.0T. Yes it uses premium, but 35 mpg on the highway is doable at speeds that get you about 42 mpg on a B5.5 Passat TDI. With the 70 liter tank, I have gotten 900 km (563 miles) per tank on road trips and typically break 800 (500 miles) in just routine driving; my overall average is running at about 31 mpg right now.
