| 2002 Volkswagen Jetta Fuel Economy: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 90hp 1.9L I4 Diesel 5-speed manual FWD |
With the diesel engine (1.9L, mechanical fuel injection) and manual transmission, deliver 50+ mpg in mixed driving. 56-59mpg on highway running 60-70mph. |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 90hp 1.9L I4 Diesel 4-speed automatic FWD |
The diesel returns phenomenal fuel mileage. I have yet to achieve less than 40mpg with mixed highway/city, and am usually 42-47 for highway only. |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 90hp 1.9L I4 Diesel 4-speed automatic FWD |
The diesel automatic gets 35-42 MPG. I have gotten 620 miles out of the 15 gallon tank. |
