    Owners of 2013 Jetta hybrid, 2014 Chevy Volt and 2015 Prius 5 , we live in San Francisco I find the city mpg here is the same for all 3 around 32-36 mpg same routes. I note in L.A. prime time traffic the volt does better at 70+ mpg when hybrid battery was depleted, Prius 65+ and Jetta 50+ mpg btw I hate the L.A. grid lock I wonder how you guys there put up with it! , performance wise Jetta, hands down with a turbo charge engine and GLI suspension,even my upgrade Prius won't hang w the Jetta, comfort, Volt, Jetta and Prius, Luxury it's Volt, hands down, follow by Prius and Jetta. Cargo, passenger Prius, Jetta and Volt. Prius has lot more usable space vs the rest.

    Your MPG varies on a great many factors, some of which you can control, some of which you cannot. But we need more hints before we can guide you to any specific changes.

    Bob already pointed you here once, but you didn't answer, so I'll point again:

    Jetta is a 1.6 L turbo hybrid 0-60 7.5 - 8.5 sec. 60-80 mph 3-5 sec. 7 speed DSG transmission it will break the tires loose going into 2nd gear. Those are not similar with San Francisco there are lots of short steep hills and our stop, ligths, Blocks, are less than 300 feet. So 32-36 mpg city are good numbers. My 4x4 Dodge RAM pickup get 6-9 mpg city I recall fillups ran $200.00 some weeks I had to fillup twice!
