randallhsmith Rookie Author Houston Posts:13 Points:163,660 Joined:Dec 2011	Message Posted: Feb 5, 2012 9:50:18 PM Ignore randallhsmith Report Abuse My 2012 Golf TDI gets somewhere between 50 and 60 mpg. If I cruise at 45 mph in the right lane, I can get gas mileage in the 70s. I had a problem with the check engine light coming on, but the car was running beautifully. I thought it might have been a bad tank of diesel, so I tried to burn the fuel out of the tank by turning 59 South into an autobahn. I set the cruise control to 90 mph and dropped the gas mileage to 41 mpg. I gave up because I didn't have all day to drain the tank. The dealer replaced a glow plug and no more check engine light. Pretty good to get 41 mpg going 90 mph. [Edited by: randallhsmith at 2/5/2012 9:51:27 PM EST]

tigerod Veteran Author Toronto Posts:275 Points:6,915 Joined:Jul 2004	Message Posted: Oct 19, 2010 1:01:54 PM Ignore tigerod Report Abuse Metricauto: That is excellent - 42 MPG (US gallon) or 51 MPG (Imperial). In Canada, we use the imperial calculation to give the impression that it gives a tremendous gas consumption. My 1999 Passat 1.8T gives me 46 MPG (imperial) highway. Not bad for a gas-run vehicle. Problem: lately, the NO readout seems very high and close to the allowable limit in our province of Ontario. Any ideas?
metricauto Sophomore Author Oregon Posts:193 Points:74,640 Joined:Aug 2009	Message Posted: Oct 9, 2010 6:32:07 PM Ignore metricauto Report Abuse We got about 18.1 KM/L or (42mpg) in our 2009 TDI Jetta on a road trip that was Hwy speeds of 110-120KM/H) 65-70MPH about 800km (500 miles) per day 10 hours per day of driving with breaks, some mountain driving and lots of flat slight incline driving, cruise control was used about 80% of the time. 80 KM/H or 55MPH seems to get 20KM/L on average from past trips we had at lower avgerage speed. Made it from (North LA county) Santa Clara CA through San Francisco to Sacramento CA on one 55 liter (14 gal)tank of fuel w/ room to spare. California does not advertise, if fuel is ULSD, But My research seemed to point that they switched to ULSD for highway vehicles back in 2006 and that by December 2010 the entire US will follow suit. <font size="1"></font> <font size="1"></font> [Edited by: metricauto at 10/9/2010 6:36:19 PM EST]
