I'm only 300 miles into my CTD. Last car was a Jetta TDI I turned in on the buy back program. One of the first big differences I notice is the 1.6L in the CTD with a 9 speed auto is able to turn about 1800-1850 rpm at 70mph. In the TDI with a 6 speed DSG that'd be 2750rpm. By 80mph it would be going 3K rpm.
I think the lower rpm is a big part of the improved fuel economy.
I'm very much looking forward to my first fuel up to see what kind of mileage I get with every day driving. And we have a road trip planned over the holiday weekend so I'll be able to see a best case mileage soon as well.
