"A VW Jetta diesel already gets about 30/40 mpg,"

1999? to 2005 TDI Jettas are easily capable of achieving 50 mpg on a regular basis.

1999? to 2005 TDI Jettas are easily capable of achieving 50 mpg on a regular basis.

I did quote the listed number for the 170hp 2.0l diesel, but that appears to be the only thing available in the US. The 103hp 1.6l diesel elsewhere gets 50mph.
