Yeah. I've been eyeing those for a long time. A long time being just as soon as I got it but haven't had the cash up front for the longer 5th. Here in Florida especially since all the roads are flat and the highways are set to 70mph. I think it's a 600rpm drop from what it is now with the new 5th which would put me around 1900-2000rpm at 70 which is darn near perfect. What have you done to get 60mpg out of your tdi?
