I think my '16 Jetta is finally broken in! I had been experiencing milage figures of 6.2 liters per 100km ( about 38mpg if my calculations are on). This past weekend, I did the trip to visit siblings and saw that number on the way there. With mixed driving on winding two lanes and some limited access highway, I covered the 220 miles in 3 1/2 hours.
On the way home, I wasn't in a hurry, so I backed it off a point or two and saw my average consumption drop as I went. Eventually I was looking around 5.7 liters per 100 km or about 42 mpg. That is getting close to the figures my last turbo diesel Jetta was giving on trips. Oh yes, the trip took about 10 minutes longer. Also cruise was set on the bigger highways at the same speed both going and returning.
I don't anticipate driving like that all the time, but it is interesting what a boring old sedan can do.
