Interactive aero modding on VW.com

A visitor to MetroMPG.com sent me this note, which I'm passing on as an FYI:
Quote:
VW's site
lets you pick-n-choose the car modifications, and as you add/remove
them, it updates the city/hwy MPG rating. It's not very scientific,
but it's cool that people get to see the numbers get worse as they add
"sporty" ground effects. The ski racks make a big change: 32MPG
without, to 27.9 with the ski racks... or down to 23.15 with the soft
luggage rack. Racks and ground effects are the only things taht
affect MPG, I think.

I wonder when they'll offer options like "grille blocks" and "wheel skirts". :-)

This is in Flash, so I can't send you a direct link. but once the
Flash loads, navigate to:

"Build and Crash" > Jetta 2.0 TFSI
