I've been driving the new Jetta 1.6 for over half a year now, mainly commuting in the city. The average fuel consumption is around 7.5 liters per 100 kilometers, but it can go above 8 liters if there's heavy traffic or frequent use of air conditioning. On the highway, it's much more fuel-efficient, usually dropping to around 6 liters. Fuel consumption isn't as ideal as manufacturers claim; it really depends on road conditions, driving habits, and vehicle maintenance. For someone like me who drives aggressively, with more acceleration and heavy throttle use, fuel consumption naturally goes up. When my wife drives, it's much more economical. Low tire pressure can also increase fuel consumption a bit, so it's good to check it periodically. For new cars, keeping track of mileage and fuel amounts during the first few fill-ups can help calculate the real consumption. Over time, I've found that smooth acceleration and avoiding sudden braking can save quite a bit on fuel costs.
