  Dad set out to the ocean one day fully intending to keep it at or below 
the speed limit just to see what the Passat could do.  He made it 
to about a mile past the first turn off, about 5 miles!  ;-)  My wife did 
recently make a trip to Seattle and then Portland and got 52 both 
trips.  :)  She always gets better mileage, of course Dad usually 
does better than I do as well. In a gasser I do better than she or 
both but I tend to drive the stuffing out of the VW's.  :)
