I did a second longish trip in the VW today. I had about 80 miles of local driving including unsuccessful episodes of hard starting before I changed the glow plugs.

After over 250 more miles of highway I got 45 mpg. More than backed up my 44 mpg that I got initially.

The speed was 65 mph for much of the trip.
