I agree, we have a VW Jetta TDI, but a 4 door car. Gets fantastic fuel mileage. When we cross the state of ND to Fargo, running 75 mph, we get 40 mpg. Sometime, I want to take the time, and drive it at 55 mph. I know we would get over 50, maybe approach 60 mpg.
I tried 55 today. I'm in California so if you try doing 55 on the freeway you'd get run over. So I took the back way home and there is a 22 mile stretch of flat two lane country road with no stops and no traffic. I set the cruise control at 55 and reset the trip computer. At the end of the 22 miles the MPG was reading 56.9 miles per gallon. I have read reports of others getting about the same when doing 55.
