The Saturn we traded in was a 2000 model with over 200,000 miles and it was still getting 36 mpg Hwy miles. She has 15,000 on the Cruze so I feel like that is enough to make a fair assessment. How many miles do you have on the Jetta TDI and what kind of mpg you getting? We actually drove one and considered buying one before we bought the Cruze. The Cruze had a few more bells and whistles so we bought it. I have been wondering if we made a mistake. For the record, I would not buy another Cruze due to the poor MPG.

Are you sure that's not the average mileage overall? As in, city miles included? Try resetting your MPG calculator once you get on the interstate and see what it averages out to. Also might want to calculate the mileage manually just in case the built in MPG tracker is screwy.
