Dan- not to thread jack but I finished my 1300 mile trip. My mileage sucked, started off at 24.5mpg with some tweaking I finished at 26-26.5mpg. In closed loop the AFR's were hunting around alot, I think the new CHT is causing that because the temps were all over the place once the heads warmed up. The mileage was very consistent, stayed the same whether I was drafting a rig at 65 or going 75 in ahead wind. Most of the trip I kept it at 70, the last hour I did 75 none stop. My odometer reads 10% fast, and my speedo reads about 20mph low, checking it all the way to 92 mph 
I need to find out what's up with the mileage, but overall aside from some hot start issues and some bucking it ran awesome.

Yeah, I guess you need to find out what the problem is Nick. My 65 Notch with a stock 1600, and dual 1 barrel Solex carbs gets better than that at 70-75mph. And that's after the tire size correction.  I've also done 95 in it before (on the stock sized tires, in the hills of PA, and that's kind of scarry, being on 165-80-15's).
As Tram would say, "It just goes to show you the VW engineers got it right."
