The 2007 mileage report
By William M. Hartnett on Jan 1, 2008 in oddities
I’m obsessed with tracking my mileage. I’ve even been known to record my mileage in rental cars. Here then, for no very good reason, is the year-end mileage report for my 2001 1.8T manual transmission Volkswagen Jetta, with comparisons over 2006:
Miles driven: 7,263.1 (+15.5 percent)
Gallons burned: 248.424 (+4.1 percent)
Miles per gallon: 29.237 (+11.0 percent)
Average price per gallon: $3.123 (+19.3 percent)
