Most tanks of 90% highway and 10% city, w/ cc set to 6-7mph over the speedlimit, I'll get a good 55-57mpg. The more you mods these, the better the mileage is.
I'm curious...what mods have you done to the car? I'm not that familiar with these and wouldn't mind squeezing a little more out of it.

The VW TDI's sound great straight piped too!

I agree about the driving styles! I have always thought I could get more miles out of a tank than most others but maybe I should re-think that. My mileage has gotten worse again lately. In fact, a few tanks ago I only got 13.5 mpg running empty. . . . That is about the time I 'straightened' out the exhaust even more than it was before

Hmm....... Wonder if that should indicate something

YES! They sound amazing. VERY FEW people actually do a true straight pipe on these though; I'm gonna take some vids of my car and youtube them here shortly.
