Damn 200 miles, that city driving right?

I get around 20mph with a stock A4 75% highway 25% in town driving plus I do get on it occasionally. A4's dont do as well as M6's for gas mileage at all...

I've had the FTRA for a couple of years and it never gave me any problems until the 383 and stall went in. It started to overheat, but when I removed the lower part everything went back to normal.
