Here it is, what you've been waiting for -- an update on our diesel Jetta's fuel efficiency.
After nearly 4,000 miles in our hands, and against a combined (city and highway) EPA figure of 35 mpg, our Jetta TDI is averaging 37.9 mpg. Given our mostly leadfoot tendencies and the fact that many of those miles are spent in L.A.'s perpetual traffic jam, it's doubly impressive. We imagine that mileage in the low-40s should be easily obtainable by those who live in areas where traveling on the "freeway" means efficient, steady cruising at 65 mph.
