I just bought a 1996 Passat TDI(5speed) and a 2006 Jetta DSG Auto for the girlfriend. Hopping to get even better mpg with the Passat than the Beetle. I suspect the Jetta will get the norm of around 43mpg.
It is addictive, that's for sure!

Ecomodder has definitely helped get me excited about improving FE and has guided me on how best to achieve it. I'd struggled to get a 90-day average FE of 54MPG+ with my Honda VX, and it took me a couple of years to get there. Now with my Jetta, I've only filled up ... 6? times, I think? ... and both my 90-day and my lifetime average has exceeded the FE of the Honda. Practically no mods, compared with quite a few on the Honda. SentraSE-R is right, the TDIs are MPG beasts !!
