Conditions? The Cruze can get 50mpg if I start it at highway speeds.

HAIL OUR GROM OVERLORDS.

Grom is now the answer. Miata is no longer in fashion. Calling it here, folks.

I agree, Groms are awesome little bikes.

My 2.49-liter Jetta only gets 28 mpg in suburbia at 0-50mph.

Can do 31 mpg in Winter if I drive with ‘feather foot.’

My Bronco does a quarter of that. That means it has 4 times the character.

Right?

I’d say you win, but you have to drive a Jetta 1.8t to do it, so you don’t really win.

It’s not bad!

Turbocharged, manual, GLI sport suspension and more...,

You must have a feather foot, I got 12-15mpg when I had an STi

Yeah but your Smiles-per-gallon is poor

Like, I’m still super overprotective of it. But still.

Do you have a 5-cylinder? My sister does (‘06) and she gets 25 no matter what.

Obviously. You did say 1.8T, right?

Yes

2.49-liter, 5-cylinder engine

Driving 0-45 mph much of the time...

Not rushing toward stop lights and stop signs like other drivers, wasting fuel and brake pads, but seeing yellow caution lamps and red stop lamps and coasting to them ...

‘Jackrabbit starts’ away from intersections 9/10 of the time, though ...

In Winter, with colder and denser gasoline and the realization of increasing fuel mileage, I don’t rush away from stops but try to get 30-31 mpg.

In 300-mile drives on flat Florida byways and highways, at 55-70 mph, I get 28.5-30 mpg, depending on whether air-conditioner is used.
