	For what it's worth, I do mostly highway with limited city driving.
	I get about 45-48 year round.  A tank or two in the 30s in the
	middle of winter, and a few in the low 50s during the heat 
	of summer.  That's the 91 Jetta.  The 03 Jetta does a little
	better.  For example, last year I did a round trip of 2300
	miles.  Nominally, at the low 50's.  55 peak tank reading,
	when driving the BlueRidge on I-81.  There's too much error
	in filling a tank to bank on just one filling.

	The 03 handles untreated fuel better in the winter.
