Can be quite variable depending upon driving conditions....I'm driving on guestimate about 60/40 city/highway, and I'm getting around 22-24 a gallon.....If I drive on the highway I can top out around 29-30.....

Do you have the 2.7?

I'm doing great! 23.5 mpg !! Mostly canyon driving, not really city and not really highway, but it's been raining a lot and I haven't really been pushing it much... yet.

I average about 20, but on a drive from Buffalo to DC I got just under 30 on the highway, and I wasn't exactly taking it easy.

On a related note:

I recently moved. I used to have about a 3 mile commute each way on suburban roads, stop and go traffic most of the way. I now have a 17 mile commute each way, with most of that on the highway.

Before I would go home for lunch, so I made that round trip twice, about 12 miles a day, and now I've got about a 35 mile round trip.

I've found that I'm not really filling my turbocharged Jetta much more than I used to even with the huge increase in mileage. I used to fill weekly, and now I probably fill maybe one more time per month. The car gets great mileage on the highway - off boost - and is an absolute pig in stop and go - on boost.

Something to think about if you're considering a turbocharged car...

I'm getting between 21 to 24 miles per gallon, depending how spirited the drive is. 2002 model 2.7 eng,

I've been getting 22.8 with a lot of freeway driving. With premium gas now around $3.15, it's still painful.

Haven't done the math in a while but it used to consistently be in the high teens. If it ever hit 20mpg I was pretty happy about it. My commute is short and generally not over 50mph aside from a 1 mile stretch of highway that I hit (with a lot of throttle).

[insite]

well, i just burned through fifteen gallons of VP-109 in 94 relaxing miles.

[RandallNeighbour]

insite, would that be 109 octane race fuel?

and how did you burn so much of it in less than 100 miles? Were you driving 145 mph the whole time?

[eslai]

Sounds like he was at the track. In what, i have no idea.

Alright guys, just got back from Washington DC.

We had a good trip. 750 miles in 11 hours each way.

A little disappointed with the MPG though :

1st tank - 22 mpg
2nd tank - 24 mpg
3rd tank - 23 mpg
4th tank - 23 mpg
5th tank - 22 mpg

Not as good as I expected. I average 21 mpg going to work and back.

Cruise was set at 80 mph, AC on, fully loaded ( me, wife, luggage )

This is in a 99 2.5 with 50k miles on the odo.

Anything I should take a look at ?

Thanks,

Nick

Nick,

Did you reset the OBC at each fill-up? Your mileage seems low to me. Ellen just got 27.9 making that trip to West Virginia and back. If you're not resetting, your mileage is being averaged with all your previous driving.
