46 MPG on the TDI Wagon



So i’ve finished the first tank of diesel in our new (to us) Volkswagen Passat TDI Wagon. I probably could have made 900, but i decided to play it safe and fill up at about 850 miles. I quickly did some calculation, and figured out that we were getting 45.9 miles per gallon. That’s pretty good. I wanted to check the mileage as a baseline for trying experimentation with improving it, and also with trying bio-diesel. Apparently there is a 900 mile club of people who’ve made it 900 miles on a single tank of diesel. I probably could have made it, as i refilled before the fuel light even came on.
