Default Real world MPG on 3.0 TDI

What is your real world MPG on the TDI? I think the website says 27 combined and that seems low to me....

Thoughts?
Thanks!

EPA combined is 30 mpg. I have 15k miles on mine and have averaged 32 mpg since new.

28k miles on mine and am consistently around 31 mpg when I tank up (as manually calculated).

I should have added that mine is also manually calculated.

I have nearly 10,000 miles on a 2014 A6 TDI Prestige. As my daily driver (about 60/40 highway/city) my average calculated at the pump has been consistently around 32 MPG and, during the winter around 30 MPG. My only tank on predominantly highway miles (to pick up college graduate at other end of the state) resulted in a calculated value around 40 MPG.

For comparison pictures of Audi's onboard MPG calculator in both a gas and diesel A6, please see post "TDI MPG converting BMW Owner". Yes, the calculator is biased.....

Have a 14' TDI Prestige with about 24k miles on it; owned it since 19.5k miles. I average'd about 31.2 MPG since the day I owned it with about 70% city and 30% highway commute (well technically it's the opposite but I am including the bay area traffic in my calculations).

My wife took it out, yesterday, on a route which involved maybe the back roads and averages 39.9 MPG with no A/C. We also took it for a road trip which involved up and down hills, average speed of 75 mph, with A/C and butt coolers on and did about 38.8 MPG.
