I have always calculated gas mileage (miles driven/gallons) on all my cars, including thisA6 for the last 65k miles. The computer is about 2 mpg optimistic.

Around town: 18-20 mpg
Highway @ 55-60: 27-28 mpg (very rare since I don't have patience to drive this slow)
Highway @ 70-75: 23-25 mpg (normal)
Highway @ 75-90: 20-22 mpg (with bursts to 100-110)

 

how do you change the driving timer intervals and what are my options? Never knew you could do that...thanks! NickSchepis@yahoo.com...

 

I get around 16.4 acording to the car's computer. Not awesome MPG but I guess I'm not complaining after seeing what mustang196718 gets, sorry buddy.

 

Thanks WolfsA62.8Qfor tha advice. I didnt do exactly what you said but, whenI changed my battery not to long ago the computer had to reset itself obviously and im now getting around 14.6 Much better now

 

I drive 100 miles a day @ $3.00 per gallon

21 MPG 97 Avant Q = $14.28 per day or $71.40 per week
25 MPG 89 200QT = $12.00 per day or $60.00 per week

31 MPG 98 VW Jetta 2.0 = $9.67 per day or $48.35 per week

My *** hurts from sitting in the Jetta! [sm=boohoo.gif]

 

I'm seeing (according to the trip comp) 20.5, but haven't bothered calculating it myself. It's hovered in that neighborhood for months. My driving is about 50/50 hwy/city and I'm not shy with the gas pedal. 2001 A6 2.7T w/tip and 235/40/18's. I actually have a (once intermittent, now constant) check engine light on, and may have better numbers once I get that addressed.

 

I'm curious about you guys who've chipped your engines as to the change in mileage since getting it done. I imagine its hard to pin down since you'd be more likely to drive like you want to get your $$$'s worth, but what difference do you see (increased use of throttle not withstanding)? Plan to chip before the year is over, and I guess this is something I should consider.

 

In my 2001 2.7T tiptronic I got about 18-19 MPG in my daily driving (mixed highway w/ heavy traffic and local roads) and in my 2002 4.2 I get about 17-18 MPG (also mixed, but less highway traffic). I'd probably get more if I didn't gun the car to hear the growl!!!

 

I just went on a road trip - 200 miles

75-80 mph
Got an average 26-27mpg

I cant complain...

 

o btw i do have a K&N air filter
