Absolutely.
A 65mph CC setting over long distance (>300miles) gave me 57 (with traffic jam) and 60 mph averages.
If I could do 52mph for this kind of distance, I'd go below 4L/100km (over 59mpg).
I have a very hard time believing 84mpg / 2.800 L/100km out of an unmodified vehicle this size and weight, with the 2.0L TDI.
Definitely won't happen @ 60mph.
Remember, Vekke is already pushing things to get below 3L in a car half the size.
