43 mpg is pretty impressive for that speed. I can see what my 1.5l Turbo (non hybrid) can make on a 60 miles trip, but I have a lot more evaluation and even though I'm driving on the Autobahn, it's hard to maintain 80 mph as average speed. Because you're getting constantly slowed down to 40 mph (construction zones, semis and slower passing vehicles) and then I have to hit very high speeds to reach an average speed of 80 mph.

I'd say my fuel consumption could be arround 35 mpg (6,8 l/100km)

TDIs (1.6, 1.9 and 2.0) would probably do 46 mpg

Did you use cruise control most of the time?
