Greetings from North Carolina
So I've actually been using Fuelly for a year now but I didn't realize there was a forum so this is more of me saying hello to the forums :cool:
Currently I'm tracking two vehicles on Fuelly. My 2006 Jeep Liberty CRD and my 2005 Golf TDI. Both vehicles are diesels and both are automatic. The Golf is new to me, I just got it a week ago today. My mileage in my Jeep Liberty is really good when I'm not pulling cars, or boats, etc, I'm getting between 25.5 ~ 28.5 mpg which really depends on the weather. Even when I'm pulling a car or boat I'm still getting between 20 ~ 22 mpg so I have no complaints at all. I love my Jeep Liberty! I'm running an Eco-Tune from Green Diesel Engineering. Great tune, really makes the Jeep fantastic! In my Golf TDI I've only done one tank so far, but I got 42mpg and I just installed an tune from Green Diesel Engineering so I'm expecting to go up a bit, hoping to get close to 50mpg :coolsmiley: Anyway just wanted to introduce myself to everyone! Thanks Grant |
Hi welcome. Nice to see someone in the US realising the benefits of diesel! ;)

It's not bad for a large vehicle. Most of the Jeeps this side of the Pond are diesels, a freind of mine gets over 40 MPG in his on the highway, Cherokee. And the VW diesel is a great unit too, someone got 97 MPG (about 80 MPG US) recently on a 1000 mile road trip!

Yeah I saw the article this morning about the VW getting 97mpg but I haven't had a chance to read it yet. If I can get over 50mpg I'll be really happy! -Grant |
Well you can't have everything I guess, I've toyed with the idea of swapping my 17" wheels for 15" as they add about 10% to my fuel figures. But then the 17" just look right. You have to compromise sometimes ;)

Diesel FTW!
Wish we didn't have to worry about urea or SCR setups though. |
It just means we have cleaner diesels.
Europe will go to them in time if they want to keep using them. |
Funny you should mention that, I checked out BMW's UK website earlier and I noticed they are using adblue for some diesels now. First time i've heard of it being used here.
