Thanks, Jerry

Thanks for the update. I'm guessing, we'll see the post constraint report here on the forum?
Thanks, Jerry

I don't know if that is what Dave is saying, but as one who posted my agreement with what he said, that is what I am saying. Real life and EPA mpg numbers are rarely in agreement, but in this case real life does not apply.

I know the C6 iteration went through similar constraints. I do not know if the C5 iteration did.

I know at one point, '02 or '03, A4 Z51s and A4s with the optional performance rear axle (same ratio as Z51 option,) were on constraint and the reason was actually listed as CAFE restrictions.
