Wolfgang, you're right. Even for smooth solutions we can only expect p+0.5 
according to theory. On most meshes we obtain p+1 numerically, however. Using 
"Peterson-meshes" one actually obtains the reduced order.

Nevertheless, this yields order 1.5 for linears, order 2.5 for quadratics, 
whereas Mihai reported orders 1 and 1.5.
I modified step-12 in the way suggested by Mihai and obtained perfect second 
and third order for linear and quadratic ansatz functions, respectively. Even 
without the shift of the vector field the degradation of the convergence rate 
is negligible.

Mihai, it seems that there is still some error in your code, maybe in the 
right hand side. This is just a guess, of course, but it is the only relevant 
change. If you can't fix it feel free to let me have a look.

Best,
Tobias
