You heard that right 65 - 70mpg! (The video is basically just a shot of the mpg....boring but it proves the point) The VW Jetta Sportwagen is a clean diesel, that mets the toughest emission regulations in the country. Beyond that the Sportwagen has 66.9 cubic feet of space which is comparable to most small suvs, so in my estimates it might just be the perfect car...great gas millage, low emissions and lots of room. That being said, its main attraction for me is the millage which is as you can see phenomenal. Although with most things there is a caveat, you have to drive very modestly . I can normally get 50mpg - 55mpg on average highway driving moving along in the 50 - 55 mpg range. To get these 65 - 70 mpg numbers you need to drive between 40 - 45mph in 6th gear. Other gears going slower will get you the same numbers but 40 - 45 is about as fast as you can go and still get these high numbers. For the argument nobody drives this slow in the real world, driving like mad gets you to your destination only a bit sooner and for that small savings, you are creating an extra burden on the atmosphere and future generations in terms of CO2 emissions, reducing disposable income by decreasing gas millage and sending much needed money overseas to our middle east pals. So it is true most peole dont drive this slow, but some do and for that loss of a few min, we are savings ourselves money our country money and helping keep extra CO2 out of the atmosphere.
