The fuel consumption of the Jetta is 5.7 liters per 100 kilometers. Here are the detailed specifications of the Jetta: Overview: Jetta is an automobile brand under FAW-Volkswagen Automotive Company, Ltd., a joint venture of German Volkswagen Group in China.

I've been driving this old Jetta for five years, and fuel consumption really depends on the situation. During daily commutes stuck in city traffic, the dashboard usually shows around 8.5 to 9 liters per 100 km. On weekends when I take the highway, it can drop to about 6.5 liters. The most crucial factor is driving habits - if you frequently accelerate or brake aggressively, fuel consumption will definitely exceed 10 liters. I've tried driving more gently, and even with the AC on the whole time, I can keep it under 7.5 liters. Another trick is to regularly change the air filter and engine oil, which saves quite a bit. Also, try to maintain tire pressure around 2.5 bar. While the Jetta's interior might be plain, it's truly fuel-efficient, especially suitable for us commuters who drive every day.

I specifically looked up the fuel consumption data for Jetta, and there are significant differences between models. The official combined fuel consumption for the 1.4L manual transmission is 5.9L, but in actual city driving, it's around 7.5L. The 1.5L automatic transmission is officially rated at 6.1L, but daily commuting typically consumes about 8.5L. For SUVs like the VS5 with a 1.4T engine, the consumption is even higher, with 9 to 10L in the city being quite normal. According to statistics from thousands of data points in owner forums, the average fuel consumption for Jetta manual transmissions is 7.2L, and for automatic transmissions, it's 8.3L—slightly higher than the same-class Corolla but much more economical than American cars. It's recommended to consider your driving scenario before purchasing; for those who frequently drive on highways, the manual transmission is the most cost-effective option.

When I first got my Jetta VA3, the fuel consumption was a bit confusing, hovering around 9L/100km before the first maintenance. Later, I learned a few tricks from the car owners' group: gently press the accelerator when starting, coast by releasing the throttle once the speed exceeds 60km/h; ease off the gas 200 meters before a red light; keep the trunk free of clutter. Now, it's stable at 7.3L/100km in the city and 5.8L/100km on the highway. Remember to check tire pressure every month; lowering it by 0.1 in summer can save more fuel. Don't set the AC to the maximum setting; tests show each fan speed level affects fuel consumption by 0.3L/100km. These tips help me save nearly 200 yuan on fuel each month, enough for several hot pot meals.
