Geez, if my diesel rabbit ever went down to 38mpg I'd be looking for a 
fuel leak. Conistently averages 45-48 with ~90% freeway miles. Even the 
first motor did this while pushing 200k and compression at about %50 of new.
All of this at 75mph with my right foot 1mm from the floor. :-) That's 
alright makes the wife's 4kq (never seen it break 30mpg) seem that much 
faster. ;-)
