POOOOOR! My gasser 'Q' will do that on a run.

Upper 40's [imp] town 2 to 3 mile runs and touching 60mpg [imp] on an interstate 65 to 75mph for my diesel 'Q'

These Golf/Jettas don't seem to be as economic as their light weight should produce IMO :shock:

I just did a test on my Jetta 90 TD 305000k
613km 46L
about 7.5L/100km, which to me seems rather crappy. I have turned down fueling as i had it up, am still not impressed.

With this tank I am going to try turning down the starwheel to see if I am getting to much fuel on boost.
I will report more then

If any one has any ideas on how to increas fuel milage that would be great.
I plan on doing a Fresh Air intake, and 2.5down pipe with 2.5 or 2.75 tail pipe here one weekend. Well that is after my new son gets out of the hospital

and we are back home...
