224/228 will cost around $500 for the install and your gas mileage loss will depend on the tune you get. Also if you're an A4 guy you should look into a stall convertor before you get the cam IMO.

If you need to pass emissions I wouldn't go much bigger than a 224/224. If you have a manual and like the lope get the 224/244 lsa 112 if you have an auto stick with the 224/224 lsa 114. VERY popular cams with a lot of satisfied customers including me
About $550 for a kit which includes the cam, pushrods and valvesprings.
If you are handy with a wrench you can do the install yourself. Its not that bad. If not plan on 300~500 for the install and another 400 or so for a good tune.
