..... it is not so moded like yours, ..... Did more than 200 Vag com VCDS data logging travels, .....if you skip my first 3 tanks with stock car you will notice that in 10.000 milles fuel average is 4.28 L/100km or 55 US mpg,

But according to my data:
From 2013-10-31 to 2014-05-20 I did the full tank experience with several different conditions.
Car burned 370.39 liters of diesel, in 8985.8 kms that means 4.12 l/100km or 57 mpg (US).
No overinflated tires, no smoth hubcaps, some aire conditiong above 32ºC (89ºF), a top speeds between 50 to 65 mph, no belly pan, no lower grill block in summer, climate here is like California and I'm at 20m above sea level, so I'll be a bit dissapointed with you results. but i'm not dissapointed, because i know that they are good but I try to understand why they are not even better as they should.

But I'm guessing that you also have a bit of a problem with overcooling, no taller gear enough so big aerodynamic improvement but you don't get a linear improvment because of BSFC being not linear and you are lowering load in the engine...

but your results are impressive and consistent, and your mods are very well executed.
But I'm sure that an euro 5th gear of 0.625 or even an UK 0.592 will raise your mpg to 65 or 69.
I did not the test because I don't have enough torque yet at low rpm, 235 Nm (173ft.lb) at 1900 rpm stock, but I need them or a bit more at lower rpms.
Did you have a power torque curve of your Malone Tuning ECU flash?

not really much of your sentences make much sense to me. first you say your car is not modded like mine, you drive a certain speed, and i have overcooling. but then you contradict by saying something else. i never said i had a malone tune either. i don't know what to think. confused.....HELP!
