Default Gas Mileage

I know all of the go fast goodies arent exactly supposed to make our cars "fuel efficient", however, since I ripped off the stock exhaust and went with headers and a catback, i gained almost 2 miles per gallon more

01 ws6 a4 18 mpg city 24 hwy

just thought id share, i know it was asked a while back by a newbie.

Exhaust and intake generally will help your MPG b/c the air and exhaust can leave and exit the car easier

Yeah man... I'm only getting around 14ish city on mine. I think it's more because of the tune, it's running a lil rich and sometimes I can smell the gas... oh well.
