Default Mpg With 4:10's And A4 For You Guys With Questions.

i just picked up my 95 z in my sig, so you can see the mods. i drove it from west palm beach, fl to tulsa, ok. it was about 1400 miles. and i was doing between 65 and 70mph the whole way. the worst mpg i got was 19.2 and the best was 20.5. this suprised the hell out of me. i was looking at getting 15mpg or something around that. i mean at 60mph im at about 2600rpms and at 70mph im at about 2900rpms. i drove the car 9hrs the first day and slept for 5 hours and drove it 19hrs straight the next day and the car held up fine. not one single problem the whole way. so for those of you questioning if you should get 4:10's or 3:73's in an a4 i would not go any other way than 4:10's. because i have had 3:73's before and the 4:10's f*ckin rock.

Are you all having any problems with your 10 bolt? I was told 4.10s are weak in a 10 bolt and will break/help break the 10 bolt.
