I average about 27.5 miles to the gallon. I drive to and from work 35 miles each way for a total of about 70 miles each day 5 days a week. Of those 70 miles about 16 of them are city miles.

I like to drive fast and hard...I have quite a few mods, including a Neuspeed K04 Kit...you'd think this would trash my mileage...but it hasn't go figure. I'm using the Beru Ultra Spark plugs...my fuel of choice is 92 Octane from Unocal 76 I'd use higher but all they have is 100 Octane at 3.69 a gallon.

Anyhow there you have it.

I have 99 A4 1.8T quattro with MTM stage 1+ (chip and muffler). I get aroung 23-24 in all city
driving, I get around 24-25 in mixed driving. Have not yet taken any long road trips to see what the highway mileage is by itself. I did notice several things. Mileage after about 1000 miles on the engine got better. Mileage after putting on the MTM muffler improved about 0.5 MPG.
