The stars must have aligned just right on this tank! A couple of things though: 1. I adjusted tire pressure to 40 pounds at the beginning of the tank, which is where I like to run them but I noticed the right front was down a little bit. 2. I had to have the 60,000 mile service, during which an exhaust flap that was stuck in the open position had to be changed. This is a known problem for VW so it is reimbursable by them up to 120,000 miles, which is good because it is nearly $400.00 bucks to fix. 3. Most of the tank was straight commuter miles on secondary highway and I was trying to be a bit easy on it because the engine light was on (exhaust flap issue). 4. The stock tires (Hankooks) are just about down to the wear bar and I don't know if that hinders or helps mileage, but they are about to get replaced. Still trying to determine what I want for tires. So, maybe those things all helped to get what I think is my best tank mileage.
