excuse is that I must have had a "brain burp" which caused me to not pay
attention to what I thought I was doing!
My apologies!!!!!!!!!!

John,
You're confusing the "60" that was printed in my response as miles per
gallon, not miles per hour as stated. It reflected the achievement of 52
mpg when running 60 mph.
You also substantiate that your TDI has a lifetime fuel economy of 46
mpg. That matches its sticker. The truth for your TDI is exactly what the
sticker stated. Are you saying, as AAA suggests, that the fuel economy
sticker should reflect a different truth than the truth?
I suppose it should be mentioned the 50-52 mpg includes using synthetic
oil, which can give a boost of several percent fuel economy. That's not
taken into consideration in sticker fuel economy ratings. It also didn't
incorporate turbos. They have a place, but we've always steered away from
them in passenger vehicles. The purpose of a passenger vehicle is to get
its human cargo from point A to point B. A well maintained non-turbo does
just that, keeping the wallet better healed in the process.
