Volkswagens are known for their comparably high gasoline mileage. I don't know much about their mileage these days, but the classic Volkswagen Beetle and Camper of the '60s used to get an average of 30 mpg.
25 MPG
I owned a 71 SuperBug and the highway gas mileage was 28-32.

Luckily, the VW Jetta is one of th emost fuel efficient vehicles in the country. The gas mileage in the city for an automatic 2009 VW Jetta is 29MPG.
17.5 mpg. Loaded, up an down hill.
Based on my recollections of VW bugs around then, probably around 25mpg if you aren't driving flat out a lot.
The Golf wasn't made until 1985. 1984 was the last year of the Rabbit.
the VW Routan is a Chrysler/Dodge minivan all the way down to the engine options. The only thing VW changed was the suspension and looks and they didn't get the stow and go option either. So you can check out the mileage for the Chrysler product as well.
I have a 1996 Golf GLIII with a 5-speed and I average about 35 mpg in the summer and 31 mpg in the winter (Minneapolis, Minnesota).
Depends on mileage and condition.
Newer VW's (last 20 years), it doesn't really matter. Cheaper, low octane gas can cause knocking (early detonation), but the knock sensor will retard the car's ignition timing preventing knocking, but this will cause slightly poorer gas mileage. Thing is, the extra cost of the poor gas mileage isn't more expensive than the cost of higher octane gas, so it's pretty much a wash. Older VW's without knock sensors can have poorer gas mileage with cheap gasoline. This knocking will happen under hard acceleration. The knocking will be worse with higher compression (over 1: 8.5) engines like in the GTi, Cabriolet and Scirocco.
because IT IS OLD.
