[Vwdiesel] Mileage down 10%...

[Shawn Wright]

My Jetta mileage is down about 10% over the same time last year, so I 
guess it's time to turn the fuelling back down... I noticed that my wife tends 
to drive with the pedal mashed most of the time.

At first I thought it was dragging brakes, but I fixed that (one of the parking 
brake levers had seized), and it's still only about 47 mpg imp on the last 4 
tanks. I was getting about 53 last year. Nozzles were changed 6 months 
ago. Hmmm... now that I think about it, it probably needs an air filter... I 
hope that's it.
