I can't edit my posts and its way too hard to type while I drive, but this car is an automatic, too. I just picked it up this morning with only 413 miles on it. If I can do that with this slushbox tranny, I can do it in my a4

I'll double check it against my used fuel ( I hit the highway with a full tank) but looking at the gauge and miles gone, that's pretty right where it should be

Oh, please! And you call yourself an economizer!



At one point, I was getting 90 mpg. 90!

Wow, double posting ftw.

Anyway, after 206 miles of pure highway driving, I stopped and filled up. My car took 4.213 gallons of fuel, and assuming that the fuel pumps are calibrated to the same spec, that is about 48.9 mpg. I'd guess a realistic margin of error on that is 5%+/- so, yeah.

congrats, I think I might average twenty some MPG with my foot. TO bad I don't have a boat where it's gallons per minute instead.

So we all know that the supercharged engines need the intake bypass valve so they work in reverse. Otherwise the supercharger would just suck all the air out of the cylinder. So knowing that, how does the turbocharged version work in reverse? The engine is trying to suck air backwards, yet the turbo wants to spin forward so I don't see how it works.
