No, I didn't know that. The 2005 VW Wagon TDI comes with "Low Roll
Resistant" tires, and it came off the lot with 34 psi in the front tires
and 32 psi in the rear tires. I just found a sticker inside the rear
side door recently, that specifies 36 psi front tires and 45 psi rear
tires, so I aired up the tire to those pounds per square inches. The
tires are rated at 51 psi tops, and most people run their tires at 85%
of the top rating that can be found on the rim of the tire . Anyway, I
hope correcting the air psi in the tires will will give me even better
driving and mileage. The VW Jetta Wagon TDI is rated at 38 MPG city and
47 MPG highway, but many owner do a lot better than that. Thank for the
other tips.

Great, you guy use the ethanol and gasoline, and leave all the diesel
for me and the boys. Greater supply with lesser demand is an economical
formula for a reliable source of fuel and at a great price.

Yes, US gallons in mixed city and highway driving. I love my VW Jetta
Wagon TDI.

I'm making the assumption that that's US gallons your talking about in
which case that's impressive.
