This article is about the all new Volkswagen Jetta TDI and how it it is a diesel engine, and it goes 30% further on one gallon of gas than the average gasoline fueled car. The car gets 34 mpg in the city, and 44 mpg on the highway. It's diesel is also considered to be "clean diesel".
This car is absolutely awesome! It definitely blows the Toyota Pris out of the water. It gets 44 to the gallon and it costs just under 22,000 dollars; so it is environmentally sound and it saves me some money. One cool thing was that the car helped set a world record. A family drove over 2,700 miles across the U.S. averaging 58 mpg. Another intersting thing is that the computer screen that shows how much mpg you are averaging changes almost instantly based on how much horse power and rpm's are being put out. One downside is that the diesel engines are not able to be converted to bio-diesel like other VW's in the past. Other than that, great buy and better for the environment. Car companies should take note of VW.
