Lafayette is a great place to live and is conveniently nestled in the cultural melting pot of South Louisiana. With so many unique and wonderful destinations right in our backyard, the desire to pack up the car and check out the sights can be hard to resist. However, high fuel prices and the suspense of looking at the gas pump when the handle clicks can make you think twice before hitting the open road, or even Main Street.
Thankfully Volkswagen has the answer that will keep you exploring and your call rolling past every gas station between Ambassador Caffery and Disney World. The new Volkswagen Passat TDI offers the fuel efficiency that your wallet craves with all of the performance that your right foot demands. With 43 miles per gallon and 795 miles to the tank, you may forget which side of the gas pump to park on. Even if you only take it out on a Sunday drive, you could travel from Lafayette to the Superdome to see the Saints, and back, three times on one tank of gas.
So if you see the gas station attendant more often than you see your friends, or if you’re looking to take a one tank trip to Destin and back, the new Volkswagen Passat TDI can solve both of those. Stop by Southwest Volkswagen at 6184 Johnston Street in Lafayette. Or click here to check to out the latest inventory.
