I bought this car end of 2012 and now have roughly 37,000 miles on it. The mpg has been consistent at 38-40mpg. Trouble is, my trips are at 65mph for 45 mins on a flat highway at warm temperatures with A/C rarely on and windows always up. And I always get roughly 39 mpg. My average speed on my tanks has been about 57mph. I drive with economy in mind and don't drive hard at all. My tires are about at 39PSI each and are worn well with rotations done religiously. Also, services are never missed and I don't carry heavy things or passengers. Why can't I break the 42mpg VW says I can? I know other people hit 50+ in their 2.0 and 1.9 TDI's. What gives?
