I have the current Jetta (06 5 speed wife's car) and 50 MPG is very achievable on the highway. If the new Jetta is rated anywhere near 50, then 55-60 MPG is probobly attainable on the highway. |

Re: '09 Jetta TDI 55 MPG ?
The current Jetta TDI is only rated at 37 on the highway from the EPA. It is very easy to beat the EPA with TDI's, though. Getting over 50 mpg on the highway with the upcoming engine should not be a problem, but seeing an EPA rating that high would really impress me.

Re: '09 Jetta TDI 55 MPG ?
Wayne -
mid 50's HWY MPG on the '08 EPA cycle means over 60 for us still used to the old EPA numbers.
Imagine, a large car ( 103 inch wheelbase ) with the ability to cruise autobahn speeds scoring those kind of numbers.
What will the Detroit lobbyists do about that ?

Tonight at the Audi/VW dinner Wayne and I had a chance to talk to a VW manager and he informed us that mid 40's is optimistic for an '08 EPA rating.

Re: '09 Jetta TDI 55 MPG ?
He said that combined will be lower than mid 40's. While he couldn't give a direct answer as the testing has not be completed yet on the '08 EPA cycle, I got the idea that he was expecting a combined in the high 30's.

Re: '09 Jetta TDI 55 MPG ?
Combined in the high 30's using '08 EPA - that works out to say 45 combined old EPA.................that is about 70% better than the gas model.
Could I extrapolate and figure that my combined MPG will be 56 (33 * 1.7) once they put the same engine in a Passat Wagon ?

Hi Vooch:
___The upper-level manager did not really hint at anything in the 30’s but simply stated mid 40’s to low 50’s would be optimistic. It will do 65 + for most here as it is more fuel efficient then the 1.9’s while being far more powerful and cleaner as well.
___Good Luck
___Wayne
