You're making too many assumptions. I'll leave it at that. Good day.

Ah, no, I am restating your statements.

Show me where I said something about hypermiling.

Ha ha, wow you're really trying to distract. OK let me keep it real simple and restate my core conclusion:

If you were able to reach 32mpg in a 25mpg rated car, you should be able to get well over 40 mpg in the 36mpg-rated Jetta 1.8T (actually you should get 46 mpg - same percentage increase for same driving conditions).

That's hardly the slight increase in mileage you originally claimed.

Time will tell, I guess.

The VW hate is strong here...

It's not like Honda/Toyota/Ford/Chevy/Mazda/Dodge/Chyrsler/etc...all make perfect vehicles.

Also to correct some info about he original 1.8t yes it had 150HP to start but once they added VVT 170-180HP was the norm across the models. Audi TT's got an uprated 225HP w/ another intercooler, bigger turbo, and better internals.
