Just wanting to see what mileage people are getting to the tank.
I get about 26mpg city, and 32 mpg highway in my 95 jetta, 2.0L 5 speed.
How about you?

Walking and biking are the ways to go, unless you've got gear to carry. |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Rochelle, Illinois | | | I'm getting 28 MPG with a '95 Buick Regal with the 3.8L V-6. It was getting 22 MPG when I bought it, but I gave it a complete tune up with all new sensors and reconditioned and flow matched fuel injectors and then new tires.
When the weather warms up and all the salt is off the roads I'm going to get the '78 Mercedes out and see what kind of mileage I get running my new CFI with alcohol.
My van for hauling band equipment gets 13 mpg.

The sad thing my friend told me is his 98 Jetta GTX is a 2.8L V6 engine and gets 170 some horsepower, but mine only gets like 150...
crappy inefficient engines... lol at least mine looks cooler!

Unfortunately, 90% of my driving is up and down mountains in the small town where I live. That means I get about 18 overall.
