30/41 for the Jetta under the new standard isn't bad.

Well, without looking up who said what when..... from memory these are a little off - about 7% city and 10% highway .
44-46 highway was the 'expectation' that I 'remember'.
Still a very good set of numbers for T2B5 with our fuel..
The at's are 29/40 regardless of body style.
