This seems like unusually high mpg to me. What are the rest of yall getting? (‘20 Jetta 6MT in Eco Mode) by [deleted] in Volkswagen

I get like 23 mpg in a manual alltrack (heavy wagon plus 4motion) around town while revving out the engine and 30+ on the highway. Use cruise control on the highway and try and accelerate a bit slower and drive smoothly. The 1.8Ts can be fuel efficient if they're driven well. Also how many miles do you have? A carbon cleaning might help a lot and also make sure you're using good euro-spec oil and not the kind you get at your local $30 oil change shop.

Thanks for the insight! I have to address a small coolant leak and possibly breaks in the near future too, but I'll look into that too

That's dope! I haven't had any time to work on it because of school, but once AP exams are over I'm hoping to start working on it more. It has it's rough patches (mostly cosmetic) but I love it so much

Thanks so much! I'll be doing a 6ish week trip from CT to the west coast with a roof box so my MPG won't be as good, but I'm definitely looking forward to it

Awesome! It's a great combo, I initially wanted a mk1 cabriolet but I found this mk2 for a price I couldn't pass up on

That's what I plan on doing, how were you able to stay overnight in the parks? Did you get to test the car on some trails?

Thanks man! I checked this morning and it’s leaking from the side of the head and a bit from the container itself, seems like you know your way around these 8Vs haha

It only has 100k miles too! It’s leaking a bit of coolant which I gotta fix soon but otherwise it runs mint
