FYI, it's usually 80-90*F here about this time of year, I'm sure that contributes.

Good job on getting an older TDI to eek out a frugal tank.
Temperature, and possibly, fuel are likely differences. In January, it's typically 10F to -40F, here. During the winter months, stations stock winter diesel, which has a higher ratio of kerosene so it won't gel from the cold. I doubt that Phoenix has a significantly different winter blend.
