[Vwdiesel] finally made 50 mpg

[Chris Geiser]

Electronic display of mileage on the '09 TDI has been dead accurate to date
- I've stopped checking most of the time because it's always well within the
margin of error of the fill.  Doesn't mean I like it (struggle to get 40,
and in winter, usually don't) but it's correct...

My '05 Dodge truck electronics consistently overestimates the mileage - says
21-22mpg when in reality it's only getting 17.
