I'd back that up - I've got a 1998 1.9 Tdi Passat estate and on long motorway trip, like my former commute 60 miles of mainly motorway, 60+ mpg wasn't entirely unusual at 70-75 mph.  I was disappointed if I didn't see more than 58 mpg on the clock and I tested the computer on a number of occasions against my own sums and it was all pretty accurate. 

On the other side of the coin, when using on a road rally I have got down to 35 mpg from it, but given my previous estate struggled to get double figures on a road event that's not too bad!
