Picked up a GTI a couple of months ago. Fun to drive, but one of the more annoying aspects in 6th seems too short as the car is turning around 2000 RPM@60. Have not had a chance for a pure highway drive to check mileage, although I think I can exceed the rating by several MPG. I'm guessing I can get 38 or so if I keep speed at 60. The R Line Beetle, with same HP rating has a .81 6th gear where I have a .91, which is an 11% difference. If I were to swap out top gear, would it be reasonable to expect an 11% improvement in fuel economy at the same speeds?
