I don't understand it either... I can't manage to get it below 55mpg tank average no matter how hard I push it even with a load of town driving and traffic light grand prixs....which I always win. 
However I can't get above 60mpg tank average at all, not seen 60mpg yet since buying it 6 months ago (almost to the day)... Not even sure how that can be possible!
I'm not actively eco-driving, don't have the time or patience for that, but I'd have thought ~150 miles in one go at a constant speed on fairly flat roads should be about as economical as it's gonna get... As said, similar shorter trips in the older, 8v, modded, cheap generic mapped (with a broken camshaft) PD Golf had no trouble averaging 65+.
That said, the Golf obviously had a bigger turbo and a 6th gear...
