Ron, I think my best has been 55mpg in traffic so I couldn't speed. I regularly get 49-50 highway. I usually drive 10mph over the limit. I average 40mpg regularly everyday driving.
Both of my figures are well over the EPA.
Also, i don't know if you have seen the test online of these new clean diesels. They took a coffee filter and covered the tailpipe of one of these jettasThey ran the car for a few minutes and revved it up and stuff... filter was completely clean. Pretty neat. Not what you would expect from a diesel.
