Won't find a lease to cover the 500mi a week. I Golf TDI will get 45
mpg around town as long as it's a stick and only when it gets broken
in. Takes about 13,000 to 16,000 miles to get broken in. Until then
you'll only see about 42 mpg. I have a jetta and the wife has had two
new beetle tdi's. the tank is a 16 gal I think and you can get every
drop out of it by venting during fill -up. My Jetta is an auto and i
only get 38 mpg around town but both get in the mid 60's on the highway
Remember that is on flat ground in the south. Probably low 60's in the
hilly north. You got the Liberty coming with the diesel in it but that
will probably cost a bit.
