Description of the problem | Mileage of the vehicle decreased to almost 8-10 miles per gallon, after the fix that they installed for a recall. Previously i used to get 37-39 miles per gallon on my passat deisel but after this fix i am hardly getting 30 miles per gallon. The whole of me buying the diesel is to save gas. But after hearing about the scandal, i totally lost faith on vw and with the fix, i am not getting the mileage that they promised on the sticker price. |
