I'm getting about 20-24 on the highway/interstate, but I do very little highway driving. I hate to even think about my in town driving, it's... well... spirited, and I get around 13-16. Oh well, gotta pay to play.

ive got an a4 with a 3000 stall, 3.73s, mid tubes, high flow cat, sraight pipes from cat back and a cai and i get 20 in the city and about 24 on the highway. and i have a horrible tune because of the computer gettin fried on the one ive got now and havin to use the one off the wrecked car. but im bout to put my hot cam in so what do yall think thats gonna to my gas mileage? keep in mind when i tune it its gonna be for the street mainly but track capable. 12s is the goal for now and its lookin real good. im not far off now with a 13.2 so i figure the cams and tunes gonna do it.
edit: where i live the speed limit is 35 but i spend most of my time driving down #1 and i only really drive my car from home to school= 4 miles going 45 mph and to work=also 4 miles going 45. other than that i live out in the boon docks and i can go 55 everywhere out there. its kind of a small town so i get the decent gas mileage from that. i think the lowest ive ever gotten is 15 with a heavy foot.

the best i've got was 16,usually get from 12 to 15 but lately i get like 9 or 10. i've always drove it pretty conservatively but with the oil leaks and messed up o2's it's been low. this is about half city half hwy. after i get everything fixed and get it tuned i would be happy to see 16 again. by the way it's an a4, lt4 hotcam and heads, 2.73's(about to be 3.42's), msd, hooker lt's, 3"flows, and a few other small goodies.
