I have to keep up with city traffic on the beltways around here. 60-80 mph, speeding up and slowing down, on hilly terrain. It was killing me on mileage because I have a "fixed" 2015 with DSG. From your posts and fuelly webpage description, it sounds like you have turned your back on the fix, the restitution and the buyback. ???I'm still seeing mid 50s on winter blend fuel with my DSG. Can't complain. I've dropped from tanks in the 58-61 mpg range in September to the 54-57 mpg range with freezing temps in December. I'm very pleased with that.
It would be interesting to see what it could do tuned and with "off-road only" emissions. Regens are a b*tch on economy.
That was my plan with my 2014 three pedal 6MT until an E350 driver took me and the TDI out when he blew a traffic light last year.
