Damn...how the hell do you manage 15mpg in the city?

EDIT: lol i guess your car weighing 2985lbs helps a bit.

It was cool enough yesterday that I was able to drive to Houston without running the AC. I got 30 mpg on the highway, pulled 487 rwhp on the dyno (NA), then drove back and got 30 mpg on the way home. I give credit to a razor sharp tune and a 6 speed with stock 3.42 gears for the excellent fuel economy.

With an A4, 3.42s, and my stroker I'm getting 25 on the hwy (cruise control set at 70mph) and about 13-15 in the city. And screw these gas prices!
