Exactly. My C5 will get about 28-30 Dic Indicated on the highway. To find your average though, you actually have to measure the gallons and miles driven.

Driving around town, city streets, right at 19 or 20. If I punch it alot, it drops more.

My 02 A4 is experiencing horrible gas mileage. Very easy driving. I am getting around 13 mpg city driving. Haltech intake, corsa x pipe, and a corsa cat back. What could be the cause? No codes of the DIC.

I must be enjoying my ride too much...my avg mpg (on the DIC) is usually at 12.5 to 13.5. Its never been higher than 14.5. That's with about 50/50 city and freeway driving.
