But 250,000 miles on it and 52mpg.... Haven't I suffered enough?


Are we talking about the P word, if so I feel you pain and understands.

Winter car is a 2005 Dodge Neon (Beater car) and if the snow gets really deep I'll drive my 2001 Ford F150 4X4.

Before I bought my 370, I had a 2015 TDI Passat, 6-speed manual, with every option you can get on a TDI in the US with a manual, and it routinely averaged 50+ MPG. My average drive to work was 52+ MPG typically. My record was 57 MPG out of the thing. Think the worst tank I ever got out of the car was 45 MPG.

Cars that get good gas mileage don't have to be small econo-boxes. It was fairly peppy even (not compared to a Z) for a large 4-door sedan that got good mileage.



Taken shortly after I bought the car, but the mileage did improve, it settled out around 52:



*Edit* (I looked it up, best was 57.3 MPG to be exact)

Okay I see. I ask because my girl drives a Prius and that's what we take on long drives.

Well the other poster may drive a Prius... I don't know. In ways I'll miss that car. It was a nice car, and going ~800 miles before needing to fill up was nice. However VW buying it back for more than I paid for it was a deal that I couldn't pass up.

Yeah, I bought it new for almost $7k under sticker, drove it for for a little over 24k miles, and then they bought it back for almost sticker price. It's a shame. I know they "lied" but there's no way those cars are polluting that much getting that kind of fuel economy. They are just polluting more than they advertised.
