Brooding on the thought that there aren't many games like Mystery Case Files anymore where you can enjoy staring on a picture searching for objects for hours (kinda like Where's Waldo?) without getting pushed to buy tokens/gems/some other form of in game currency that you have to grind or buy with real money to be able to continue playing, replay a level, or remove ads

Or maybe there are? Any good recs folks? :3

Edit: huh so they're still making the MCF games to the present day!

2011, 6th gen. Kinda wish I got an older one, maybe a 4th.


Welp, while the 6th gen is a bit of a looker, the 5th gen is kinda gross

I personally love the MKIII (in general), and a 1998 TDI with a manual trans would just be the coyote's tail ... but they are too durned old, and getting hard to find parts for

Putting Dieselgate behind us, a 2017 Alltrac Sportwagen with a small lift and Falken Wildpeak Trails would be absolutely killer for camping

2011 Turbo Diesel with 6 speed auto DSG. Wish it had the 7 speed the later models did, since it's in 6th gear by 40MPH. My route to work is on a 40MPH road, but being city driving the efficiency isn't great. 2400RPM on highways :/

It's interesting how those DSGs are geared. Your 6-speed is designed to get into its highest gear as quickly as possible to maximize fuel economy on the open road. That's why you're in 6th by 40 MPH and only hitting 2400 RPM on the highway – it's really optimized for cruising. The 7-speed later models got a bit more flexibility with that extra gear, allowing for better acceleration in lower gears and still maintaining great highway efficiency with potentially even lower RPMs in 7th."

It's not a one-off. My A220, even with the 4MATIC, it’s quite efficient. It's got a really well-tuned 2.0L turbo engine, and a lot of it comes down to the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (7G-DCT) keeping the RPMs low at highway speeds. I also utilize the ECO drive mode quite a bit. What kind of Jetta do you have? Sometimes even small differences in engine tuning or transmission can make a big difference.

    Welp, the EPA rates the A220 4MATIC @ 24 MPG city / 34 hwy (combined average 28 MPG), so it may be that yer little German fuel computer is lying to you :\

    I mean hypermilers are able to outduel the already stringent EPA testers, but not by double

    It may even be that you had just reset the mileage computer after filling up, and the true consumption has not yet set in

    My Jetta loves to lie to me about my fuel efficiency, it'll consistently display ~38MPG by the end of most trips, but when I do the math I'm getting like 32. It's very ambitious.
