I decided to take it easy on this tank of fuel and got 44.44 mpg with it. I live in a small town and do a fair amount of stop and go driving. Many stop signs and lights on the way to work but I also drive to another office twice a week on back roads and interstate(about 30 miles one-way).
I usually get 41-42 because I tend to open her up a bit. This time I decided to try a whole tank taking it easy.
Not bad considering the number of stops I make in a day's time while driving.

2001 NB TDI plus CPO 2013 Passat TDI SEL Prem.
When my wife drives her 2001 NB with the AC on and doing 75 on the freeway, she gets around 40. I took it in a long haul with the cruise set at ~65-70mph and got nearly 50mpg. This is with the auto tranny, too.
