Jed's commas line option should work for older versions of libMesh, but if you 
are using 0.9.0 or newer the interlaced variables should be automatic if the 
DofMap properly discovers one "VariableGroup"

What types of CFL numbers are you running at?

My experience with compressible navier stokes (without mulrigrid) is that 
convergence is usually very good provided the numerical time step is less than 
the characteristic time of the flow (l_ref/U_ref). Going much higher than that 
for supersonic flows can give fits unless the boundary conditions are 
linearized perfectly. Given that the subsonic bcs are more complex I thought 
I'd mention this.
