Only those with the MFA (multi-funktion-anzie something) known in English as the multi function display, mostly the GLX top-of-the-line trim models which include the VR6 engine. '95~97 Passat GLX, '95~99.5 Jetta GLX, 95~99 Golf GLX. Many of the later ('98+) VW also have this feature as part of an upgrade trim level option.
The accuracy in these is dependent on the injectors. Stock injectors produce a display number lower than actual, high flow performance injectors produce a very optimistic display number. The computer can be offset to more closely produce numbers in line with actual, but until I have some more data to determine the correct offset, I'm using the dash display as a better / worse reference and the re-fueling pump display and odometer as the actual fuel economy.
