I get high 30's low 40's from my 2006 Jetta TDI (6 speed DSG auto - RocketChip tune) on the same commute I use my Boxster for today. About 70 miles at 80+ mph on a toll road per day. Lower speeds would help. My brother who has a 2006.5 TDI (5 speed manual - "custom MPG tune") gets low 50's on the highway at 65 mph. YMMV
