The best mileage I ever got from a regular diesel Jetta was 79.5 miles /
imperial gallon from south central British Columbia to Portland, Oregon.

Driving coast to coast across Canada last summer on the Trans Canada Highway
in a turbo diesel Jetta pulling a large fully laden heavy utility trailer I
averaged 55 miles / imperial gallon.
