[Vwdiesel] MPG 88 Jetta ?

[Mike & Coreen Smith]

Hello again all.

Brand spanking new to the list, and right off the bat I'm asking questions.
Never owned a diesel.
Just bought an 88 Jetta GL, turbo diesel the other day.

What can I expect for fuel mileage.........( I almost said gas mileage ! )

When I got it, it had about 1/4 tank of fuel and 725kms showing on the trip
meter.
I topped it up, and have driven 260kms and it's a bit under 3/4 of a tank.
Would "seem" I could get around 700kms a tank.

Does this seem about right?

TIA
