Summer Road Trip: Nearly 800 Miles on One Tank of Fuel with VW

If you are planning on taking a road trip this summer and buying or leasing a new car, you may want to consider a 2012 Volkswagen Passat.  The amazingly fuel efficient Passat holds the world record for distance driven on a single tank with an estimated 43 highway/31 city miles per gallon and an 18.5 gallon fuel tank. Achieving nearly 800 miles per tank on the highway, the Passat runs on clean diesel. No wonder it won the 2012 Motor Trend Car of the Year!

This beautiful Volkswagen sedan is manufactured in Chattanooga, Tennessee and includes impressive standard features plus a host of options such as power front seats, a leather interior, dual-zone auto climate control, a navigation system, and more.

At 800 miles per tank, that means you can drive from Salt Lake City to Las Vegas and back on one tank of gas. Or you may prefer to drive to from Salt Lake City to Seattle, WA and still have fuel to spare. How about from hot St. George to the much cooler Portland, Oregon area? 

The point is, you can drive a heck of a lot further between fill-ups in both the city or on the highway in a 2012 Passat SE with a 2.0 L, 140-hp, TDI® Clean Diesel engine, and a 6-speed manual transmission. The automatic transmission gets an estimated 30 city/40 highway mpg. So what are you waiting for? Get on down to Strong Volkswagen today and then head out on the open road for your summer roadtrip!
