[Vwdiesel] gas milage decline

[James Hansen]

If it's cold where you live this should be average normal... you are getting
winter fuel now, which has less power, hence greater fuel usage.  If the
idle sounds good, starts are good,  chances are nothing drastic is wrong.
What year engine- is it time for a valve adjust (pre 85)?
