Well my Jetta hit a milestone of sorts today, 98000 miles!  I sat down
with my log book and came up with the following tidbits of information:
Total time of ownership -19 months
Total miles driven - 34709
Average miles per month - 1827
Total Gallons of fuel used (both diesel and biodiesel) - 912
Average fuel economy - 38.1 mpg
High mpg - 52
Low mpg (while towing a tent trailer) - 28

Since I have had the car I have replaced the glow plugs, glow plug
relay, glow plug harness, ECU/glow plug temperature sensor, and all 4
injectors, front and rear brakes and tires, as well as installed the
Wett chipset, K&N filter, 2 1/2" exhaust with a single turbo muffler
and the duel fuel propane system.  The car runs like a charm and I
expect to get a few tens of thousands of miles more on her.  Hayden
