The mileage for the jetta shown had to be for a standard shift.  The automatics don't do as well.  The computer in my car shows I'm getting 38mpg around town, but when I check the mileage from the amount of fuel pumped into the car time after time I'm only gettng 31-33.  In my manual it states that using more than 5% bio will void the warranty!  Interesting how cars are marketed and how many lies about them are out there that go unchecked.  Madeline
