I can get that in my diesel pickup not towing (19 mpg and 30 gallons) but no car I've ever owned can get 500 miles from a tank of gas.

- frosted-flakes 6y agoA diesel mk4 VW Jetta/Golf easily gets 1000 km (620 miles) on the highway. Those cars were extremely common in NA at one point.
- dreamcompiler 6y agoThat was also the point just before the VW scandal proved that diesel engines can be high-mileage or low-polluting but not both at the same time. Which is why diesel VWs are rather less common today.
- frosted-flakes 6y agoMk4 VWs are MY 1998-2005. There's still a heck of a lot of them on the road now, but I think the peak was probably well before 2015 when the "scandal" took place.
