What is your MPG?
I have a 2002 a4 ws6 trans am and I while back I filled it up to see what my mpg was. I got 20mpg in the city then when I went on a trip I got 20 mpg on the highway. By the way I didn't floor it any when I drove around the city and I stayed the speed limit.

havent been on a trip for a long time in my car.
i was gettin about 22 mpg around town before i did the heads/cam swap. now i get about 19mpg around town. no real highway driving for me, though I'd assme it would get better with the 6spd.
once i get 3.7 gears i'm hoping the mileage will go up a little bit!
my old heads/cam/3.73 gear 400 rwhp camaro would get 30mpg on the highway and 22-24 around town. not really sure why but i calculated it plenty of times and the speedo was calibrated (GPS varified my speed many many times).

I'm in the doubting Thomas camp. I see & hear the claims of 18 city & 29 highway, but I've never ever ever had a whif of that. My 2002 convertible M6 on 93 octane is 14 around town and 20-22 on the highway. No difference before heads/cam or after tune or after going from 3.42 to 4.11, or after the Kooks, or after the high flow cats or after the high flow cat back, or after the SLP lid, or new o2 sensors. Nothing has affected the mileage I get. Well, if I drive hard on a tank it drops to 10-12.
