Gas mileage... NO BS!
Recently went to OKC for a few days from Sherman TX.. Averaged 21mpg and drove 312 miles on a tank of fuel... Filled it up with like 14.8 gallons..
Check my sig... this on a stalled A4? These are incredible cars... That also running 70-85 mph @ times...
Just thought i'd share..

On my stock A4 (ok, I have a lid) I went to Louisiana and back last Monday (part of it was through monsoons) for a total of about 565 miles - averaged 24mpg for the whole trip.
First fill was on 150 miles - 21mpg (this includes 1 hour of idling down 290 to the loop )
Second fill up was a bit over 200 miles - 23mpg.
On the last fill up it was again a bit over 200 miles - 25mpg running between 70 and 80mph on this leg of the trip.
I ran Shell V Power 93 for the whole trip - don't usually run that, but I do believe that I am switching exclusively to it - car ran better than it has in a long time. Of course, getting it out on the highway and running it probably cleaned a lot of daily driver, idle my way to work crap out of the engine.

I recently went to Cedar Creek from Dallas, this is an 1 - 1/2 hour drive and I made it on a 1/4 tank, thought that was good, on a 388ci stroker untuned and running rich as hell. Have plenty of mods too.

i get maybe 200 to a tank city driving, more like 180 usually with a few romps on the gas here and there. still not bad enough to considering me selling it. sure there are cars that get better mileage but there arent ANY cars that make up enough horsepower to make me feel happy about filling up less often

i think some of my plugs don't care to work at the moment, and my AIR system's check valves are starting to **** with me. as soon as I pass emissions that **** is out
but I have to admit, after getting my GMMG put on, uhh, I've been a lot harder on it and not shifting as much... haven't listened to the radio since either.
