I had a poll on this before, but i would like to get some more responses from other folks

but i have a bit of a heavy foot. MPGs obviously depend how you drive, but i think you could probably get 25 if you keep it at the speed limit.

just completed a road trip and averaged well over that. hell, i got ~25mpg at 90mph through the nevada desert. drop the speed a bit and your mileage will increase accordingly.

an RS4 blew by me at well over 100 with a supra turbo in tow.

in my 3.2 with about 7000 miles, I average 25-27, doing about 85 with regular driving.
I was having much worse numbers (18-20), until I adjusted the tire pressures, and passed the 5000 mile threshold.

How are you guys/gals calculating the mileage ? I find the car's CPU is grossly inaccurate. I drive to a second home every weekend (265 miles each way). Point to point with a fill-up I can get 22.5 to 23.5 mpg with an average speed of +75 mph over moderate low hills, and average loading. The CPU says it's closer to 25 mpg. I could see the CPU showing +28mpg with flat terrain but at 90 mph sounds crazy.

Tires are at 38 psi; I find that a lower pressure of 32 psi will cut the mileage by 2.5 mpg. Weather can strongly affect the mileage; I find it drops as you get close to 10 degrees.

I once had to drive the 3.2 at 55 mph on the highway for over a hundred miles. The mileage pushed to 27 MPG. Jump on the car around town at the mpg drops to 21.
