Not sure to which point one test method is effectively more accurate than the other. Both are somehow unrealistic as EPA rigs up its procedure in order to favor automatic transmissions rather than manuals.

I have a VW 1.2 TDI dieselgate engine in my car, and getting a respectable 55 + MPG with normal driving conditions. The bad software has been removed a couple of years ago and the car has consumed a little less since than. But I also notice less eagerness at higher speeds.

Well, I guess it's still not so bad at all. Drive a naturally-aspirated 1.0L Dacia Logan once and you'll understand what I'm talking about...
