I got 32mpg on a 3 hr highway ride with windows up and GHL exhaust. Probably 22-24mpg in the city.

I fill up at the same pump every week. I drive the same 300 mi. route every week that is 75 miles city and 225 miles highway. I put 12 gallons a week in my car. 25 mpg average is better than our 4 cyl. 2008 Nissan Altima did for two years. It averaged 23 mpg. I have a 2004 A4 coupe. I can't complain one bit.
