In a time when something under $2.20 gallon for gas is really a discount, those shopping for a brand new car are definitely comparing notes.

In fact, with fuel costs at an all-time high and no sign of them taking a turn for the higher anytime soon, more and more customers are thinking about alternative fueled vehicles, like hybrids and diesel-powered vehicles.

This also is a good time for auto companies to market their fuel-efficient wares. And with the new 2005 Jetta TDI, Volkswagen is no exception.

Volkswagen's hottest model includes an electronically higher level, high-tech TDI diesel motor - one that provides higher fuel useage by having an even better efficiency.

The new Jetta TDI provides an average of 35.5 miles per gallon in the town and 41.5 on the open road, some drivers can get to obtain anywhere from 15 to 25 miles to the gallon. That is enough to have you from Detroit to Washington, D.C. - over 600 miles a proven way - without ever needing to stop at a gas station.

The company says, for those trying to save several dollars at the pump, not really a bad offer.

Much like most new vehicles, the Jetta TDI will come in either the typical five-speed manual transmission or the optional six-speed automatic.

Furthermore, the car works on the brand-new technology that allows the motor to run much more with more power, quietly and effectiveness than its early 1980s and late 1970s alternatives.

As with most new cars, this latest Volkswagen is brimming with standard safety features like top, front-side, and side curtain air bags; ABS; accident active head restraints; and three-point seat belts for all guests.

Particularly, the brand new Jetta TDI includes dual-zone automatic climate control, a, in-dash CD changer, heated entrance seats, cruise control and remote central locking.
