For high MPG with minimal effort, it doesn't get much better than these cars.
In the past I've seen 50+ mpg (highway) tanks while driving an unfamiliar (to me) 1.9L TDI over the Alps without paying much attention to fuel economy and despite some speed dashes above 85mph. Or 50+ mpg on mixed tanks on more sedate trips in the UK (70mph speed limit), also without trying.
With the introduction of common rail on the TDIs, it became more challenging to get high mpgs out of them.
