Volumetric Efficiency......some cars are made to reach their peak efficency at different rpm's 55 mph rule doesnt apply to everyone sadly, Its just a general rule of thumb. My bmw gets its best mpg at around 70 mph where as at 55 it feels like its trying to lug around its own weight

maybe the scanguage unit is inacurate and needs calibration

I agree with ajbkid I have a 1998 4x4 v-8 f150 and I get 25.75 highway but at times I get a readout of 35+ mpg but thats not my actuall MPGS . I get 16 in town and 25 hwy but its rated at 11 city and 17 highway.

This is not ur real mpg. Use the "avg" gauge and not the "mpg" one.
the "mpg one only shows ur current mpg.
You may want to read up a bit on the scangauge2 a bit, or take a quick peek at the manual.
If i played by ur rules, my diesel f350 4x4 whould be getting 37 mpg (obviously not true. I get 21 highway).
the right thing to do is put the "mpg" over the "avg" on ur sgII.

Iv installed a hydrogen generator on my truck and was wondering where I can get the mpg gauge u have? Greatly appreciate it.

I'm sure it does, but my vehicle is a truck with a full frame..
Quite a bit of difference car vs truck for fuel economy.
also its a gasoline engine.. your TDI Jetta should easily pull 55mpg, if not, it mite need some work..
Considering my trucks rated for right around 24mpg highway, I think my experiment turned out pretty well.
