2001 a4 2.73 intake, headers, mid pipes. Recent 200 mile trip yielded 25going 28 coming back. I drove at 79 mph with cruise control. I think the difference was head and tail winds. This mileage is based on the DIC reading not actual calculation. Using the DIC instant mileage readout it is interesting how a bit or acceleration or incline effects consumption. Will be changing to a 3.15 shortly in spite of the gas prices. I'll also start paying attention to more organized trips to kill two birds with one stone to help in offsetting higher gas prices and reduced mileage. 65mph will usually yield close to 30mph.
I changed from the 2.73 to 3:42s, 2900 stall, new tranny, Trickflows 215s and a Comp Cam 232/238 114 LSA plus a host of other crap and mileage went from 30-31 on the hwy to 25-28 mpg dependent on hills and stuff. City driving- varies really I range anywhere between 15-18 mpg in the city. At soon to be $4.00 a gallon, I figured I will start selling plasma + sperm and possibly a kidney to keep my baby rolling.
