Passat 1.8T new owner from Houston., TX
Hello everyone,
I just bought VW Passat S 1.8T PZEV and I plan to track my fuel usage just for fun! |
Hello and welcome. Dont see many gasoline passats around.

I think that people who buy diesel Passats are more interested in tracking fuel economy. Good gas mileage was what made them get that engine in the first place. |
And VW's older base engine(in the US) wasn't something to get for good fuel economy. Their new one is a nice improvement.
|
The new Mk7 got between 60 and 78 MPG in the test cycle, not bad for a big heavy car that does 0-60 in just over 8 seconds.

Not the weakest engine by a long shot, it's the 2.0 TDI, 150 BHP with Bluemotion technology, my boss has the MK6, very effecient indeed. |
Diesel is here in Houston 50% more expensive, so at the moment it does not make sense

Resale is a big factor in diesels' ownership costs. Before ULSD, a study showed that a diesel was cheaper than the gas model over 3 or 5 years.
