A TDI Jetta gets high 40s with an automatic, which means that if driven correctly could easily get you way over 50 MPG.
I drive a Civic DX automatic, and see 50 + MPG on the highway when driven at around 62- 65 MPH. The car is rated at just 41 MPG highway.

Another great thing about a TDI Jetta is that you can run biodiesel in it with no modifications at all.
Or, the car can even be converted to run on SVO ( Straight Vegetable Oil ! )
