anything wrong with the 2002?

The  '06 never gets above 44 mpg and it has just over 88,000 plus miles.  A lot  more power for acceleration, but fuel mileage is terrible on this '06.  My  driving speeds have not changed.  I typically run between 75 and 80 mph  most of the time, and nearly all interstate roadways.  If I could find a  low mileage 2001 or 2003, I would be sorely tempted to trade.  The '01 was  the best, with mileage running between a low of 51 mpg and on occasion as high  as 62 mpg.  All vehicles had a manual transmissions and the usual G L  appointments.  The only extra appointment on this one is an X-M receiver  built into the radio.  I average just over 80,000 miles per year on my VW  TDI's.
