Had to take my Grand Dog to the vet to get a shot in Mattawan, MI. I get on I-94 at the 23 mile marker and get off at the 66 mile marker. And their is about 3.5 miles of stop and go at either end. I had plenty of time and drove only 65 mph and 60 in the 8 miles total of construction both ways. My computer showed 35.5 mph. From checking it dozens of times again a fill to fill, I know it's about 5% optimistic. So my actual MPG was 33.7 mpg
103 Miles at 65 MPH in Both Directions

I, too, have noticed that slowing down really improves MPG. I have a route I drive that takes me to 6-9000 ft in the mountains and despite the big climbs I have always achieved my highest mileage on those routes. 30 even is my best over the course of a full tank hand calculated.

These are great vehicles. I drive 1450 miles to FL and back each year. I start with a full tank and fill once on the way down. Been doing this for 10years, amazing for a 5000 lb truck,Go TDIs.
