I pull into the FL house garage with 60 miles to "E" showing on OBC.
The sweet spot for MPG with the 4.4 M62 seems to be under 75mph, do 80mph and expect to loose 100 miles in range.

TiAg, just want to let you know, it may be a placebo effect, but my driving style has not changed much, but since I've been putting a bottle of Lucas Upper Cylinder lube in the tank every other fill up or so, my mpg is up 1-2 mpg.
I manually calculated it based on miles on my trip meter and gallons filled yesterday and I was actually at 20.2 mpg on my tank on my 5MT 3.0.
Thanks for the recommendation! Wife just got a clean diesel VW TDI as well so I'll be using it in her vehicle as a lubricant is recommended by many of the TDIClub enthusiasts on their forum, for long and healthy engine life
